Echo Dictation - Missy
Posted: Jul 23, 2011
For those who work with echo dictation - from what I understand, it's useful for straight transcribing, but does it work in VR? I'm thinking of investing in it, but can't understand how it would be useful in a VR program, which is where everything will be in just a few years. I would think it wouldn't work in a non-Word program since you can't cut and paste, and even if it did, you'd be editing twice. Thanks for any info!
Echo dictation - stephie
[ In Reply To ..]You can download a shareware version of dragon and try it for yourself in the Word platform. It works in Meditech, and that is a non-Word based program. It works in other programs as well, such as your email, and Word Perfect.
My opinion is that I can type faster than I can think or write, so why would I want to slow myself down, and to boot, get paid less for it? Granted, some days I may feel like my fingers or brain don't work, but other days I don̢۪t' feel like talking, and being forced to do echo dictation is not a money producer in my book.
Stick with your platforms and a great shortcut or quick word program and build your speed that way, not by going backwards.

Upping Production, Echo Dictation Vs Instant Text Vs Other?
Oct 24, 2011
I had posted previously to the tech board and it was suggested to post here instead. Am wanting to up my production, increase my lph in order to increase my pay since my cpl rate has gone down. Was thinking about using Dragon to do "echo dictation" but the cost for Dragon medical is prohibitive. Would like to know what other methods are available to increase production and people's experience with using word expanders such as InstantText or something else.
