Just started using Dragon 10.1 Medical. Initially, I didn't have the Dictaphone II Mic and was using the headset that came with Dragon. I was a little disappointed that I just dropped $1200 on Dragon as the error rate was frustrating. But Thursday the Dictaphone II Mic came in. Markedly better performance with a lot less errors. So with a combination of some excellent templates and my "sometimes wordy" dictation, I think Dragon is going to work finally.
Dragon 10.1 is noticeably better than 9. I just have to remember that its not like dictating an operative note at the hospital where a living person is at the other end cutting out my "uhs" and "ums". But if I talk like a guy from the news, it works nicely.
The dictating doesn't really speed up my charting because when I dictate, I am much more detailed. Of course if I tried to type the same things, it would take me ages.
So, so far, so good. I think it might stick this time.
