Training Your Dragon No Longer Drags On

Posted by Julie Lughart on Tue, Mar 20, 2012

I recently presented a demonstration of Dragon Medical Practice Edition to a doctor of a private practice who had used a previous version of Dragon.  She had indicated that seven years ago, the software was extremely difficult to train and took up a lot of her time.  Her experience was so traumatic, that while I dictated in front of her, she could not believe the accuracy of the software.  She was so surprised, that she remarked, “Well, you must have spent a lot of time training this profile.”  To her dismay, I had just created the profile about 4 hours before arriving at her office.
