Using Voice dictation software

Medchart is compatible with most voice dictation software. I am currently using Dragon Naturally Speaking 6 preferred edition. Below is my experience with the software:

  • dictating into Medchart directly is too slow and prevents the more detailed correction dialog in NS 6
  • it is quite efficient to dictate into the Dragon Pad, then paste the text into Medchart
  • a bare minimum processor would be 800 MHz- it performs much better on my current 1200 MHz system with 256 MB of RAM
  • I can average 80 words per minute including corrections- faster than writing or typing
  • entering a list of medical terms and drugs made a huge difference in accuracy
  • speaking more rapidly improves accuracy
