Dragon Voice Dictation (Ira Meyers, DPM)

I have been using this program for close to 20
years now. I'm actually writing this message
while using Dragon voice dictation. I am not
going to reread this, or by going to correct
mistakes. Voice dictation has made during my
nodes remarkably simple although I've had to
correct mistakes on occasion especially when
trying to dictate patient's names and using
other medical terms that are far into the per
gram. You are able to recognize that word so
that the mistakes I made the future. What I've
chosen to do is just not voiced dictate names
but typed in manually. Has been a great asset to
my practice, writing notes and doing anything
that one would normally have to type

Here's what I just learned about the new version
of Dragon I just purchased last month. It was
only a $99 upgrade and it is not the medical
version. It is the home version. For the past 20
years I've been able to utilize around and
dictate directly into my EMR software. What I
just found out, is that Dragon now knows if you
are dictating into a medical program and if you
upgrade upgrade the software program to
version10, it will not allow you to dictate in
that environment. For that, you have to buy the
medical version which I believe is about $1500.

So before you go out and buy it he home version
of Dragon, which again I think works just fine,
if you plan on utilizing this for your medical
dictation in your medical EMR, the new version
10 will not work. At least I've noticed that it
doesn't work my EMR program, I have no idea how
that might work for other EMR programs
