Speech recognition methods, systems, and interfaces are used in the generation of medical reports from data in a hierarchically-organized database for the entry and searching of data in a database based on spoken utterances of a user. A workflow function facilitates a series of contexts, typically based on information in a knowledge base, that are used to establish procedural rules and word-mapping databases for each context for word-matching data entry based on spoken utterances of a user. The generation of medical reports from the entered medical data provides for searching the database generated using the speech recognition methods. The series of contexts and word-mapping databases are developed using a hierarchically-organized database representation based on knowledge regarding the relationship of data items in the main database.
