Welcome to the June 2004 edition of the VRnews!

We hope you had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend and a great kickoff to the summer season. We've been very busy here the last few weeks demonstrating our voice recognition and EMR software solutions both online and at the TEPR (Towards an Electronic Patient Record) show 2004 in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Many thanks to all who came by our booth to speak with us in person, to see our live, large screen demonstrations, and to learn much more about voicerecognition and electronic medical records software.

Avoid Hand and Wrist Injuries With Voice Recognition Software
More and more clients are calling our office to tell us about different injuries they have sustained from repetitive keyboard and mouse use over many years. Some do not yet have a hand or wrist injury but use our voicerecognition software to avoid future problems. For many who are already injured, speech-recognition software offers a hands-free option that was not available with this degree of speed and accuracy until recently. There may even be financial assistance available to you if you are unable to use keyboard and mouse in your daily activities or work. Funding may be available to you via worker’s compensation insurance, grants, employer assistance programs and many more sources. We have helped many other clients find funding options so call us for more information.

Tech Tips

To clear or deselect your last selection, say "unselect that".

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

When you correct the misrecognized word, the program is less likely to misrecognized that word in the future.

While the correction menu is open, you can press the right guarantee to select the next word or phrase to correct.
