many times and really like it. Along with the program, you need to get a headset that has a microphone attached to it, as this is what you will speak into.
What I do is listen to the dictation and then repeat it into the microphone and the Dragon program types it out for you - it's really cool!!! It takes a while to get the non-medical part set up because it doesn't recognize most drug names and certain specialty terminology, but you can teach it to recognize them in the future by correcting the spelling when it comes up for a spell check, and then saying the word into your microphone. Then when you say this word again, it remembers it and types it out correctly. Doing this with every drug name and medical term is what takes so long. You also have to be very careful about proofreading because sometimes, even though you think you're speaking very clearly, it comes up with something that's so not even close to what you said and doesn't even make sense - sometimes this is good stress relief because you get a good laugh at it! I don't use the program every day - mainly when my arthritis kicks in, but it has been a lifesaver on those days. If you can have the patience to program it for the medical stuff, it's definitely worth the money for it.
Good luck to you and I hope this helped!
