<P><FONT SIZE=2>Recommendations:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>1) Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical Edition v7.0</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>2) Dragon dictation training/course (min 12 hrs suggested)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>3) A Dragon compatible digital recorder (<A HREF="http://support.scansoft.com/compatibility/" TARGET="_blank">http://support.scansoft.com/compatibility/</A> -> Dragon NaturallySpeaking -> Recorders (Current)) </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sony ICD SX20 - 32 MB memory (~$210)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Sony ICD SX30 - 64 MB memory (~$414)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Sony ST25 - 32 MB memory (~$343)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>4) Dragon transcription from the digital recorder:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The scansoft site states that one could also dictate into Pocket PC.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thank you, </FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>hello fellow AT folks, </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>recently, i've been asked to resolve a somewhat unique problem.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>we have a medical student who is going to start doing rounds in a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hospital in town. she wants the ability to verbally utter her patient</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>notes and have it captured as text. (ala dragon) </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>however, she wants the accuracy rate to be at least 90%. i have</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>misgivings about dragon being that accurate when using medical</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>jargon. any success stories?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>are there any other ways to address this? so far, the idea is to get</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>a workstation situated in a quiet place for her somewhere in the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hospital, and she would return to this station, speak out her notes,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>make minute corrections, and just do this all day.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>for the initial time period while we see if this all works, i</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>suggested that she use a voice recorder, and then use transcription</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>services to get verbatim text, which she can copy/paste into notes if</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>need be.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>she originally wanted a portable solution, but i just dont see how</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>this can be done accurately. (using a wireless mike and then hoping a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>remote laptop would get everything right...?)</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>any ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks!</FONT>
