 BETTER
ACCURACY
Turns your voice into text with up to 99% accuracy. Dragon Medical
Practice Edition is 15% more accurate out of the box than Dragon
Medical 10.
SMART CONFIGURATION
Dragon Medical Practice Edition runs on a variety of hardware, from
netbooks to high-powered desktops. The software automatically detects
hardware resources and sets up the recommended configuration. Its
state-of-the-art technology takes advantage of advances in hardware
and runs in multiple
threads automatically when multi-core hardware is detected to achieve
better recognition performance.
RECOGNITION ANALYTICS
A percentage of misrecognitions can be caused by simple audio quality
issues, such as incorrect microphone connection or placement,
background noise, and microphone out of range or low on battery.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition automatically detects poor audio
input; it then alerts the user (in various ways depending on the
issue), offering advice to remedy the situation. This lets Dragon
Medical Practice Edition use the best audio possible— an important
factor for accuracy.
RECOGNITION SPEED
Dragon Medical Practice Edition improves recognition response time
significantly. The software is also faster than previous editions when
selecting application menu items by voice, or executing voice commands
that perform actions within applications (e.g., “insert page break,”
“make that red,” etc.).
 ACCURACY
TUNING
Ability to analyze selected documents and email; includes Nothing But
Speech filter to automatically eliminate “um” or “ah” utterances,
filtering out unwanted speech noise that previously lowered accuracy.
SMART CORRECTIONS
In the past, corrections entered using the keyboard were not
incorporated into the user profile. Now when
a user dictates something and retypes it to correct a misrecognition,
Dragon Medical Practice Edition identifies this as a correction and
uses it to adapt the user’s profile, improving the software’s accuracy
over time.
NEW DRAGON SIDEBAR
A major enhancement over Dragon Medical 10’s Sample Commands window,
this new desktop assistant allows users to discover and remember many
commands and tips; at any time, it lets you glance at, or explore,
global commands (including mouse commands), application specific
commands and custom-created commands, as well as tips. Its contents
change depending on what window is currently active. In addition, the
Sidebar lets users print its content. (Note: This feature can be
viewed by selecting from the Help menu.)
PROFILE CREATION WIZARD
User profile creation has been redesigned to be simple and
conversational. The process now offers information about why each step
is needed and helps users make optimal choices. Setting up a
microphone or new audio source is more clear and straightforward. More
efficiency, higher quality, profitable care.
 HELP
SYSTEM AND TUTORIALS
The Help system incorporates new tips and illustrations, a redesigned
Tutorial, short videos, and easy access to related details such as a
glossary of key terms.
NAVIGATING THE COMPUTER
DESKTOP
Dragon Medical Practice Edition now supports more voice commands to
show common Windows elements including the desktop and Control Panel,
or folders such as My Documents and My Pictures. New commands enable
users to effortlessly switch to a specific window (Dragon Medical
displays a numbered list so the user can just say the number of the
desired window). In addition, Dragon Medical Practice Edition allows
shorter names for starting popular applications (e.g., “start
Microsoft Word” instead of “start Microsoft Office Word 2007”.)
IMPROVED PLAYBACK
Smoother fast-forward and rewind behaviors are now available, and
users now have options to control speed and volume.
INITIAL TRAINING TIME
REDUCED FOR DIGITAL RECORDING DEVICES
Creating a new user profile for a digital recorder, or adding a
digital recorder as a new audio source for an existing user profile,
is now much faster: the minimum reading time required to train Dragon
Medical Practice Edition with a recorder has been reduced from 15 to 4
minutes. That means clinicians can spend more time providing patient
care.
ABILITY TO USE .DSS AND
.DS2 FILES
Dragon Medical Practice Edition can now accept .dss and .ds2 formats
directly. Files recorded using these digital speech recording formats
(found on recorders from Olympus®, Grundig®, and Philips®) previously
required conversion prior to transcription.
ENHANCED
PROFILE-OPENING USER DIALOG
Dragon Medical Practice Edition displays profiles in a tree structure
for faster access to multiple profiles. |
