Please take some time to complete it: http://staff.washington.edu/tft/athen/ It's a long survey, but this is because it's very comprehensive. Its results will provide an unprecedented thorough analysis of how higher education entities are addressing their assistive technology and information technology accessibility needs. Thanks for participating!

(ala dragon) however, she wants the accuracy rate to be at least 90%. i have misgivings about dragon being that accurate when using medical jargon. any success stories? are there any other ways to address this? so far, the idea is to get a workstation situated in a quiet place for her somewhere in the hospital, and she would return to this station, speak out her notes, make minute corrections, and just do this all day. for the initial time period while we see if this all works, i suggested that she use a voice recorder, and then use transcription services to get verbatim text, which she can copy/paste into notes if need be. she originally wanted a portable solution, but i just dont see how this can be done accurately. (using a wireless mike and then hoping a remote laptop would get everything right...?) any ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks! nick ogrizovich university of vermont __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Message-ID: <368DAFE4EE5B1F419AEFB3F4A0D593FD01532F7C@ppcca14.ppcc.edu> Recommendations: 1) Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical Edition v7.0 2) Dragon dictation training/course (min 12 hrs suggested) 3) A Dragon compatible digital recorder (http://support.scansoft.com/compatibility/ -> Dragon NaturallySpeaking -> Recorders (Current)) Sony ICD SX20 - 32 MB memory (~$210) Sony ICD SX30 - 64 MB memory (~$414) Sony ST25 - 32 MB memory (~$343) 4) Dragon transcription from the digital recorder: The standard and professional versions of Dragon currently have the capability to be used with a handheld digital recorder. One dictates into the recorder then connects the recorder to the computer to do the transcription from the recorder to text utilizing Dragon. In the past this could only be done via a tape recorder with much less accuracy. I am not aware of the use of the wireless microphone method you mention below. The scansoft site states that one could also dictate into Pocket PC. 5) Editing of the transcription: If the individual cannot initially effectively self edit, then a transcriptionist should be able to provide this service at a much lower cost utilizing the transcribed recording & recording than transcribing from scratch.
