Someone I know is inputting information received from MDs: so she dictates diagnoses, body parts, medications, treatment plans, etc. Much of the vocabulary is already in the "General" vocabulary: Analgesics, tamoxifen, conjunctivitis, dysplasia, tenosynovitis, etc. In fact, a colleague is using the Professional edition successfully. (The people in the job input information into a database, and then use their notes to prepare letters for laypeople that summarize the medical information.)
My guess is that we may need to rely on trial-and-error to determine which of the two works better, but any guidance would be appreciated. |

1. The General Large vocabulary in DMPE is identical to NaturallySpeaking including Pro, Premium and the Home Edition.
2. The General Medical vocabulary is a generic medical vocabulary which includes the more common medical terms (probably best suited to a General Practitioner) while the General vocabulary is intended for nonmedical use. Doctor speak isn't the same type of dictation you would use in an e-mail to someone who isn't in the medical profession. Many physicians have told us that their accuracy plummets when they perform standard e-mail dictation. However, when they switch to the General vocabulary, their accuracy goes up exponentially. The same holds true when dictating patient charts. You should see substantially higher accuracy when using 1 of the medical vocabularies. Although you may find a good deal of medical terms in the General vocabulary, Nuance has gone out of their way, especially in Ver. 11, to remove a lot of those medical terms to make the general vocabulary more accurate while simultaneously increasing the value of their medical vocabularies. -------------------------
