Welcome to the November Edition of the VRNewsletter

Due to the effects of Hurricane Wilma, our website and office has been without electricity and therefore essentially non-functional, since Monday October 24, 2005.

As of today, we are fully operational.  If you tried to contact us via email or voice mail at any time starting Monday, October 24th, please call or email us again, as we have no information available to us during that interval.

To view a photo slideshow of the devastation caused by this terrible storm please visit http://www.voicerecognition.com/wilma.

We will try to respond to your emails & messages as quickly as possible.   Please do not hesitate to contact us, and we apologize if our lack of power caused you any inconvenience.

Just Back From the MGMA Show In Nashville, TN

MGMA (Medical Group Management Association) is the national membership association providing information, networking and professional development for the individuals who manage and lead medical group practices.
21st Century Eloquence Members have just returned and reported great feedback from attendees about the use of DragonNaturallySpeaking voice recognition software and newer hardware like tablet PCs for use in medical practices nationwide. As you'll see from our "In The News" section this month, more and more medical facilities are incorporating speech software like Dragon Naturally Speaking into their practice to reduce medical errors and liability, speed up document creation time and reduce costs.

Tech Tips:

To add contact names from your sent e-mail to your vocabulary

  1. On the NaturallySpeaking menu of the DragonBar, click Accuracy Center, or say " Open Accuracy Center."
  2. In the Accuracy Center click or say "Increase accuracy from e-mail."
  3. On the first screen of the Increase Accuracy from E-mail wizard, click Next.
  4. On the Choose Options screen, select the e-mail programs from which you would like to add contact names and select the "Add contact names from e-mail to the vocabulary" box.
  5. Optionally, you can select the "Improve my speech files from my e-mail writing style" if you want Dragon NaturallySpeaking to better understand your vocabulary and word usage by analyzing your e-mail messages. You can also have the program rescan your sent e-mail to add new contact names since the last time you used the Add Contacts dialog box.
  6. Click Next and wait for the wizard to scan the selected e-mail programs for contact and word usage data. When the wizard is finished, click Next again.
  7. On the Add contacts to vocabulary screen, select the words you want to add, and click Next.
  8. On the Train Words screen select the contact names for which you want to train the pronunciation and click Next. You can also check and uncheck all contact names to train.
  9. Use the Train Words dialog box that appears to train the words you selected.
  10. When you finish training words, wait for the program to adapt your language model. A report screen will inform you of the success of the wizard.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking can automatically add periods and commas for you when you dictate. To turn on this feature, click "options" on the tools menu of the Dragon Bar and select the "automatically add commas and periods" option on the formatting tab.

You can change the very last phrase you spoke by saying "bold that", "correct that" and so on; you do not have to select text first.

If you select the misrecognized word and the correct word is not on the correction menu, you can say "spell that" to open up a dialog box and spell the word.
