    Welcome to the November edition of the VR newsletter the monthly newsletter that shares the very latest in voice recognition technology, news, technical help and our specials for the month!



    First and foremost, we have some great news to report about
    mobile dictation! We have internally tested and approved the NEW Philips® Pocket Memo model 9350 digital recorder as an excellent mobile dictation device specifically for use with Dragon NaturallySpeaking® voice recognition software. If you have used a digital recorder with voice recognition technology in the past, you may remember that there was almost always a significant decrease in accuracy as a trade-off for mobile dictation. We are pleased to report that with the NEW Philips 9350 that our tests have shown up to 98% accuracy through the digital recorder!

     

    What does this mean to you? Simple. If you wish to dictate away from your PC, you can now expect the same accuracy as if you sat in front of your PC with a headset microphone and dictated directly into your system. How convenient would it be to dictate notes in your car while driving, dictate several emails on a lunch break, or see patients or clients and dictate all of the relevant notes about their visit without having to run back to your office to dictate into your computer directly? We were also able to obtain a very high degree of accuracy with our Olympus® DS3000 digital recorder which has been one of our most popular sellers. Both of these recorders are part of a new Package Solution this month that includes a FREE copy of ScanSoft PDF Converter®. Click here to see the kit details.

     

    With the release of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 7.0 we finally began to reach the level of speed and accuracy that we all wanted in voice recognition technology. Then, as digital recorders became more advanced and system hardware became faster and more efficient we can now expect our mobile dictation to be virtually as good and accurate as direct dictation into a microphone. This is welcome news for any of us who need to dictate away from the PC.

    Tech Tips

    Quick Trick for users who use words in dictation that are heard as commands.

    Example: You dictate the word "File" but Dragon NatuallySpeaking Opens the "File" Menu instead of typing file in the document.

    You can require the word "Click" before speaking a menu command, thus Dragon NaturallySpeaking will not get confused trying to decide if you are speaking a menu command or dictating text.

    To require "Click" to select a menu or control:

    1. Open the Options dialog box by clicking Tools and then Options on the DragonBar.
    2. Click the Miscellaneous tab.
    3. Select the "Require 'Click' to select menu or control" box if it is not selected.
    4. Click OK.
