Data input for physicians is always a topical subject. Should you use a tablet, a laptop or desktop computer. Should you type or input text through templates and pick-lists? What about Speech Recognition?

Alexandria Carstens is an industry expert who has worked in the area of Speech Recognition for over 10 years. The following blog posting on her company website provides a very good overview of Speech Recognition and in particular Dragon software.

"I have long maintained that a Medical dictation/transcription solution is not a cookie-cutter solution. Most physicians are unaware that there are options available, and moreover, are uncertain as to which solution would best provide for their documentation needs. Would a simple digital dictation solution be best? What about Dragon? And if Dragon, should a digital recorder be used or a microphone? Should the assistant or MOA be involved? What about GPs and Specialists?"
