March 2013, Volume 5, Number 3

Greetings!

Nuance is pleased to present you with this edition of eTIPS where you will find tips about:

eTIP 1: Using voice editing dialog to make corrections to your report content quickly. (eTIPS Video Included)

eTIP 2: Inserting special characters into your report by using your voice.

eTIP 3: The six different recognition modes and how to switch between them by using voice commands.

The keynote speaker at Nuance Conversations Healthcare has just been announced! We’re deeply honored to be joined by Fred Lee, author of “If Disney Ran Your Hospital — 9½ Things You Would Do Differently.” In his book, Mr. Lee addresses the vexing reality that most of our approaches to patient satisfaction will not lead to patient loyalty. He takes aim at service excellence initiatives, quality and performance improvement efforts, and patient satisfaction surveys, dispelling some of our most cherished beliefs about loyalty and leadership.

Mr. Lee is a master storyteller, and is certain to add meaningful perspective to an already great event. No matter your area of focus, we’re certain you’ll find value in his advice and perspective.

If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time to register.

Did you know there are voice editing commands that enable you to edit your report content quickly?

Click the play button on the following eTIPS video to view a brief demonstration about:

  1. Correcting a misrecognized word by using “select” and “choose” to choose an alternative word in the correction dialog.
  2. Correcting a misrecognized word by using “select” and “spell that” in the correction dialog.
  3. Capitalizing words with “cap that” – also navigating to multiple occurrences of the word using “select again.”
  4. Inserting a missing word in front of a selected word using “select” and “insert before.”
  5. Changing the written format of a word using “select” and “choose.”

Did you know you could insert special character into your report by using your voice?

The following special characters are in the Dragon vocabulary. To dictate these characters, just say their names.

Did you know you could switch between six different recognition modes by using voice commands?

Dragon lets you use different recognition modes in your dictation. Dragon uses Normal mode by default. In normal mode, the program distinguishes between words, numbers, and commands.

In addition to normal mode, there are other modes:

  • Numbers mode: The software recognizes only numbers, commands, and punctuation. If you are dictating only numbers (including currencies), working in this mode increases recognition accuracy.
  • Spell mode: The software recognizes only letters, numbers, commands and punctuation. In spell mode, Dragon allows you to say any combination of letters, digits, or symbols you might need to dictate, i.e. part numbers or license plate numbers. You can also say keystrokes such as space bar or backspace key. Spell mode is also useful for dictating internet or Web addresses.
  • Command mode: The software interprets everything you say as a command and nothing is interpreted as dictated text.
  • Dictation mode: The software interprets everything you say as dictation and nothing is interpreted as a command, except for few commands such as "new Line" and "new Paragraph."
  • Hidden mode: Like Normal mode, but always sends recognized text to the Dictation Box. In this mode, the Dictation Box is active, but does not display. All recognized text is added to the Dictation Box regardless of the cursor location.

To change modes:

  1. Select the Words menu on the DragonBar and click the name of the mode you want.
  2. Switch modes by voice by saying one of these commands:

  4. Turning a mode off by voice is the same as switching back to Normal mode.

Note: You cannot dictate fractions in Numbers mode.
