Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 or 7 (sm)
Has anyone been successful using this software for transcription? I have broken my collar bone and have not been able to xcribe. I can type but cannot extend my arm to using the mouse. Unfortunately, my bills do not stop just because I am injured. I am looking in this avenue till I can be up and xcribing again. Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
No, Not dragon Naturally Speaking sm
I meant if the dictators use it and we have to edit it. Sorry if I was not clear about that. Thanks.
Re: Dragon Naturally Speaking
 I have been seeing a lot about the Dragon Naturally Speaking program. I am interested in buying. However, on looking E-Bay, there are tons of versions. Is it always best to get the latest version? and is that version 8? I have seen almost all versions on E-Bay, but need advise on buying. Any help anyone can give me would be immensely appreciated! And thanks in advance to anyone who responds (in case I don't get back with you soon)!
Dragon Naturally Speaking
I used to use Dragon 7. I was going to try and install it today on a new computer; however, I lost my original CD case, so I no longer have the serial number. So I'm thinking about purchasing the newest version. I did okay with it previously. I was still getting it trained but I could manage to use it and match my typing speed on a good day. I'm curious as to whether anyone thinks the investment of buying the "preferred" version is worth it? I purchased a couple of different microphones previously, etc. I went to dictaphone.com to see if they had anything worth purchasing and noted that it seems that website takes you to nuance.com who is now the maker of Dragon? I thougt that interesting. Would appreciate any feedback on the newest version. I'm not looking to type 300 wpm or anything. I'd just like something that can at least take the load off of me a little bit so I'm not typing 8 hours a day. Thanks in advance!
About Dragon Naturally Speaking sm
I tried this at one point. I had a reasonable computer, but nothing like what we have today, and my last attempt at this has been years ago (2001). This is one of the reasons I think VR/SR is a joke.
I spent 60 to 70 hours "training" it. I am a clear speaker, not fast and I have no accent, just a plain midwest way of speaking. What did I have at the end of that time? Nothing, nothing at all. It would not recognize even the simplest of sentences or punctuation! To get it to pick up about every 3rd word I had to speak...like...this...every...word...slow...and...separate.
I will say that computers have come a long way over this short time. I know that Dragon is a bit better than it was. I still believe that if you really want to use it, you would need a Pentium IV with 160 gigs of HD space and nothing besides the word processor, operating system and Dragon on it. It is going to operate in either Word or WordPerfect and if you use a platform it won't work. You'd be stuck with copy, cut and paste which is not something every platform will allow.
I just would not, could not, be bothered to mess with Dragon. I type so many lines an hour that Dragon is deathly slow as far as I am concerned, and I don't get hoarse this way.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
Does anyone know if Medquist allows you to install programs on their computers? I used to use Dragon Naturally Speaking for radiology and it worked really well after a lot of voice training. It was a lot quicker just repeating what the radiologist said and watching for errors, which were amazingly few and far between. It never worked well for medical reports, but was a godsend when I had to do radiology.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
It works MUCH better with radiology.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
I am a radiology Transcriptionist who is learning "voicewriting" with ViaVoice. did using dragon increase your productivity with your rad transcription? Thanks. Rita
Dragon Naturally Speaking
thanks for the info. I work for a local diagnostic center. I was hoping to take some stress off my hands and wrists but also increase my production. thanks.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
do you mind sharing how many lines you can do in one day using DNS in radiology? Thanks.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
Hey Barry,
do you mind sharing what version of dragon you are using? thanks.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
Thanks!
Does anyone use Dragon Naturally Speaking? sm
 I am strongly considering purchasing this to do the listen and repeat, edit, way of transcribing rather than typing everything out. I am hoping that after I train it to my voice it will increase my productivity and help me with a little of the burnout I am having from typing for 12 years...lol. Anyone with any opinions? I do mostly ortho work right now...I have read that Dragon is best for radiology but not as good for medical.....opinions?
Thanks so much!!
dragon naturally speaking 10
I have used Dragon NS-10 for a while now. It is around 900 and does not take long to train. You will have to watch as you speak and get used to it. As far as being worth it; that depends on you and whether you prefer to speak vs type. For me, my fingers, wrists and arms gave out and it was the deciding factor of quitting this line of work or not. Hope that helps.
Dragon Naturally Speaking v 8 Mobile
Is anyone using Dragon Naturally Speaking v 8 Mobile to download digital dictation from a recorder and convert into a transcribed document? I saw where it claims to be able to take digital dictation from a recorder and automatically convert it to a typed document.
Question about the Dragon Naturally Speaking SM
I am looking for ways to improve my line counts and think this is something I should try, as I am not the fastest typer. Can anyone tell me if I can use the program with my company's platform since we do not type in word? Also, I need some honest feedback. I don't have a lot of money right now where I can afford to buy something that expensive and then not use it. Anyone out there who might want to sell theirs also? Thanks!
Anyone use Dragon Naturally speaking? If so, do you like it? Does it help? Looking for input. nm

What is the best version of Dragon Naturally Speaking for ortho?
I have decided to buy the Dragon Naturally Speaking program, but I am not sure which version is the best suited for ortho reports. I appreciate any and all advice. Thank you!
Dragon Naturally Speakin
Does anyone know if the Dragon Naturally speaking program works with Emdat Inscribe??
dragon naturally software
The software will transcribe from recordings; but again, it will work more proficiently and accurately after you have trained it.
naturally speaking 8
If anyone can help me. I am working for a Dr. that uses naturally speaking pro 8. I have downloaded the main disc onto my computer, but it will not let me access his files. If anyone can help with getting this set up, I would really appreciate the help. Supposedly, I am supposed to be able to open his files with my pc. Thanks for any help I can get!!

Dragon Speaking
I am totally baffled at how "you" can use Dragon Speaking when it is the doctor's voice that you are using. How can you do that? How can you edit someone else's voice? I have been wondering how this works for a while, so figured this is a good time to ask. TIA
dragon naturallly speaking software
does anyone know if this can be used with docuscribe platform?
Dragon Natural Speaking-medical
I must have used that program about 10 years ago and it worked for me
Radiology transcription/Dragon Natually Speaking
If there are any radiology transcriptionists out there that are successfully using Dragon Naturally Speaking would you please share which version you are using? Thanks a bunch!
Speaking of offshoring MT work, who does not directly send work offshore?
Just curious. Has anyone got a list of companies who do not send work offshore? Precyse? MQ? Spheris?
How does Dragon work?
Has anyone used "Dragon" VR - and if so, how does it work? Is it worth shelling out the big bucks for?
DSG has PRN work and uses DocQscribe.
Hope this helps.
Are you trying to say you work on DocQScribe on dial-up????
And I had to pay for connection fee and modem for the DSL????
I hope I am misunderstanding you!grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Will Vista work with DocQscribe?
Hi! Going to purchase a new computer - can anyone tell me if VISTA is compatible with DocQscribe? TIA :D
I type a lot of letters, would Dragon 10 Preferred be something that would work well?
Does anyone know if the Dragon 10 Preferred would work for just typing letters? I was thinking of investing in that product but worry that it may be a complete waste. Anyone hear or experience this particular product? 
Does your Infinity pedal work with DocQscribe?
Just wondering if your Infinity foot pedal works in DocQscribe? Does it automatically recognise it?
My friend has a footpedal that a former employee of Medquist was using, and went to use it as a new employee with MedQuist and it won't work now. It works in Express Scribe perfectly. MedQuist says you have to rent one from them and they won't "troubleshoot" problems with the pedal since it wasn't purchased through them......(even though it was by this former employee).
Any suggestions?
does Instant Text work in DocQScribe?
Anyone know? I appreciate your answers.
Does Dictaphone footpedal work with DocQScribe platform?
If not, know where I can find a reasonable universal footpedal?
I wonder if the cherry pickers will be out of work when all the good speaking American doctors are
Gee, I will still be working because I'm grasping these ESLs pretty dang good, right along with ops and cardiology reports.
Well there naturally aren't going to be many in the AM. SM
I do only ops myself. I have a different deal than what it sounds like you have, because my work is assigned manually - I don't get to go in the system in the morning and start plucking them out of there. I get a list at about 8:30 in the morning of the ones dictated the day before.
Too bad, too. I am 2 hrs ahead of the hospital. I could have their notes sitting there for them when they come in, but that's not the way they manage it. I don't like waiting till 8:30 to get my work, so I know what you mean.
Naturally Fast?
I am fairly new on here and realize I am asking a lot of different questions (hope you don't mind).
I am wondering if most people who end up fast enough to make a decent living at transcription are fairly fast from the start, or if one can really increase over time. I am really struggling financially and don't want to give up, but I also don't want to spend endless time in a field that just isn't for me.
Any stories?
Naturally fast
I feel I am just naturally fast. Yesterday I transcribed 2000 lines in 6 hours without pushing. I learn new accounts quickly, including ESL. Technology has definitely made me more productive. It sounds corny, but I feel like I was "born" to do this. Like I said, corny.
Any not naturally fast out there?
I can see I am not naturally fast, so I'd really like to know if there are those out there who had to work at getting fast (and were able to).
Any testimonies will be very much appreciated!
I feel I am naturally fast also...
I know for one I felt slow at first, but once you have experience and have an ear for transcription, I think is when the fast part comes in...although there are some MTs out there who have an ear for transcription that don't type fast and still do a great job!!! Hang in there!!!
Advance
I too saw it and was as angry as you are! I'm canceling my subscription, how 'bout you?
Thank you in advance it should be !! nm
TYIF -- something like Thank goodness it's Friday, but not that either. OOOPS !
thanks in advance..................nm

Advance is another one.

I try not to pressure myself so I don't get that way. I build up speed naturally. -nm

Since ADVANCE is free, there would
be little immediate impact if we cancel our subscriptions. Contact the advertisers and express your displeasure. They're the ones who provide the income stream for ADVANCE. They need to know that the people they're trying to reach are displeased and that their companies are associated with an extremely unpopular position.
how to advance in the MT field ...
I am wondering what it takes to advance to another position in the MT field. I've been an MT for about 13 years, acute care for 12 of those years. I'm tired of typing and have done QA as well, but the pay is horrible. What does it take to move up the ladder to another position, such as MT supervisor or account manager? I'm just curious. I know there are probably many more qualified people than I out there for any such position, but curiosity has got me as to the general qualifications and average salaries of each. Anyone know? Thanks....
Article in Advance
Did anyone read the article in Advance: Is Mandatory Credentialing Next?
The article says: "we have more and more companies paying premium for credentialed MTs." Is that true? The author is president-elect of AHDI. You all know what that is? Never heard of em. Or is it that new organization that used to be called something else, what was it... I think it had the words Medical Transcription in it. Maybe we should write a letter to tell about the reality of working out here.
