Topic: Adapting Speech Recognition to the Hospital Environment

How do you use speech recognition efficiently in your work environment?
 John Dean, a speech pathologist, will demonstrate how he has adapted
Dragon NaturallySpeaking to do all his documentation work in a hospital
environment.  Mr. Dean will discuss adapting software applications when
possible as well as dealing with proprietary third-party EMR software
which cannot be adapted.  He will demonstrate using speech recognition
with the tablet PC, Microsoft Word and Access, ADO, and discuss some
considerations when using ActiveX controls.

John Dean has been using speech recognition software since
DragonDictate version 3.  He graduated from the University of
Cincinnati with a degree in Speech Language Pathology.  Mr. Dean is
currently working in a subacute care unit and has experience working in
rehabilitation and acute-care hospitals.  He has done research into
vocal abuse and speech recognition software.

Boston Voice Users meets at MIT from 7:30 p.m. until
approximately 9:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each
