I'm going to write this all with the speech to text on my droid and add line breaks after.

Aberrant mole apparent mole. Works like a charm. Now let me blow your mind with another speech to text: ganglioneuralgia.

I think this acquisition has anything to do with DL vs traditional. We're running opaque DL models transparency at a major academic hospital to help treat patients. This is a cake walk by comparison. Specialized vocabulary? Just pay a few people to read some medical textbooks and your done.

I think they just want the reputation customers and product suite.

Also they're making integrations out the wazoo with ehrs. I actually can't believe it, but epoc let Microsoft integrate teams. Integrating and licensing voice is easily a next step.

Microsoft is having success with aggressively pushing Teams because most enterprise IT is too small-minded to explore anything else.

So it's the most "modern" solution they can offer their company without having to do any real additional security work.

Or alternatively, no other solution offers similar price/performance - They are having success because for most corporate subscriptions it is free. Also it's the most commonly used solution for business in the UK, so I have less problems with people joining teams calls than any other provider.

I don't think it's small mindedness - what other solution should they offer?

* Zoom - Awful internal messaging capability. A full office 365 subscription costs almost the same as a standalone zoom licence.

* Slack - No support for external conference calling without integration to another service.

* Google Meet - Makes sense if you use google suite, but not really if you use 365. Other than that not too bad.

* Webex - Awful client requires downloading which causes people to have issues half the time.

The big deal here is that EPIC has been classically closed off to outside software. The fact that they partnered with Microsoft to create an integration is astounding.
