Perform an Internet search and find a free download of a trial version of a voice-capture dictation system. Or, you can also use your phone’s voice recognition system. Dictate one of the reports given and use the system to transcribe a “mock” patient report as a physician would on your computer screen. Describe your experience. How would you compare the speed of this report to the older method of dictating and waiting for a transcriptionist to obtain the dictation and then type the report? What do you find the pros and cons to be? What free trial version did you use?
This analysis should be at least one page double-spaced. Also, upload the report you created during this exercise (image if using your phone, or document).
Please note, you must have a microphone on your computer to do this assignment. Sample reports can be found at:
