Welcome to the March edition of the VR News

As the good news keep spreading about the advanced features and recognition accuracy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® version 8.0, major medical facilities and smaller medical practices are beginning to integrate Dragon NaturallySpeaking voicerecognition software into their current EMR (electronic medical record) solutions. As you may know, electronic medical record software has been a hot topic in both medical and political news lately because of the directive by the president to have more and more practitioners using electronic medical records to streamline paperwork, reduce liability and most importantly save lives by reducing medical errors.

As you may already be aware, voicerecognition.com is a physician owned company owned and operated by Dr. Eric Fishman M.D., who is a practicing orthopedic surgeon at Gold Coast Orthopedics (www.gcor.com) in West Palm Beach, Florida. As a physician, Dr. Fishman has seen firsthand the need for voice-activated transcription and electronic medical solutions since before they were hot news topics. Dr. Fishman also started a new division of his software company called EMR Consultant.com. The success of this newer division has been phenomenal and we wanted to make sure that you were aware of a very informative and up-to-date user forum found at the bottom of the homepage at www.EMRconsultant.com, or simply click here to go directly to this information. This forum, contains the latest information on such hot topics as ePrescribing, government initiatives and other industry news regarding electronic medical records. There is also a section on voicerecognition software used in conjunction with EMR's. We are very proud of this online user forum and know you would gain a great deal of valuable information so please visit at your convenience at your input, or feel free to ask questions!

Tech Tips

• You can get help at any time by saying “Give Me Help”

• If you are not sure which of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking tools you need to use, let the Accuracy Center help you. With the Accuracy Center opened click or say, “Which tools should I use?” to start the Accuracy Assistant.

• The best way to improve recognition accuracy is to speak clearly and enunciate each word. You do not have to speak loudly or slowly, just avoid mumbling or slurring your words.

• You can view only the words you added to the vocabulary by clicking show custom work only in vocabulary editor (from the words menu on the DragonBar, click view/edit)
