Thanks in advance

I use Dragon Medical Version 4, I have been using it for several years dictating into my EMR - NextGen , which worked well. I was able to dictate across a RDP connection. A few days ago this process stopped working. I can dictate a command and it will work ( a text command ) but free text dictation no longer works. 

Any suggestions?

For whatever reasons, your network has probably slowed down a bit and can no longer accept Dragon's Chunk Dictation. “Chunk Dictation” means that Dragon drops everything at the same time. This is similar to pasting text. We recommend adding DragonCapture for Direct Dictation (literally anywhere) and the KnowBrainer 2020 Upgrade for correcting and editing. You'll find 30 day trials of both utilities in our signature tag. We can see you're already using KnowBrainer 2017

Try opening the Dictation Box and dictate then transfer. If it works, (it will) then set the dictation box to open automatically. I also use Nexgen and this is how I free dictate into it. The problem with direct dictation into Nexgen is their third party software as their  software editor bascially sucks (what your writing your notes into). I do free dictation for the majority of my notes with Nexgen

thanks for your response

I typically dictate into notepad and copy and paste which works well for most items, but I like to do some short dictations into some of the other fields , ie plan, I used to be able to do a direct dictation into the field , the repsone was usually not as good as directly dictating into notepad , but it was workable for me. All of a sudden this just stop working, and I could not figure out why , because nothing otherwise seemed to have changed.  It looked like something was blocking the dictation. When I looked on reconigiton history it was a bunch of gobbly guck

It has nothing to do with Dragon. It's the EMR. I have talked to their programmers. This is not the first and foremost thing they want to fix. Complain and maybe they will attempt to fix. Their software is a combination of several third party software that is really cheap and doesn't work well as you are now seeing. You can dictate directly but as you say is will look , not good. You can play around with their editor but I have and can't find a solution. If you find something that works better then dictation box etc, let me know.

for some reason it magically started working well again, I don't know what changed

As we previously answered, attempting to use Dragon over a network is hit or miss. You are just as likely to see the same problem reoccur in the future. We use DragonCapture to directly bulletproof dictate into any non-Dragon friendly environment to prevent this problem. The next time it happens, we recommend checking out the 30 day trial solutions in our signature tag.
