One of the most powerful things about using a productivity tool like Dragon is that you’re able to speed up your typing, getting your thoughts onto the page much quicker than typing. While this showstopper tends to get all the glory with its simple, elegant and time-saving brilliance… especially for the two-finger typists among us… one of its secret weapons is actually in its ability to have templates on standby.
While the applications of this in the medical, legal and even medico-legal fields are quite obvious, enabling boilerplate text to be incorporated with a simple command without having to scratch around for the right document, it has far-reaching implications for everyday users too. Consider how many times you respond to an email with something like this…
Hi
Thanks for getting in touch.
I’ve got your email. I just need some time to think it over and will respond as soon as possible.
Kind regards
While this is really easy to dictate using Dragon and can be done in a matter of seconds, it’s so much easier to just say three magic words and have it appear. While this generic example gives you the idea, this principle can be applied to a number of professions. Consider email support centres where support agents are constantly having to answer frequently asked questions. While there are applications that can just deploy responses, Dragon makes it so specific that you can even have variations of a single response to mix it up or make seem more personal.
Folks can spot a copy and paste a mile away, which is why it’s important to maintain the impression of the personal touch. Dragon enables you to have the time to give people a full and warm response without coming across as officious. Being able to enter routine text that crops up again and again can be an absolute lifesaver, especially for people who are in constant contact with others day in and out.
While it’s mostly centred on autotext type drop ins, the software even allows users to incorporate images. Want to sign off your documents with your signature from time-to-time? Why not use Dragon to make it easy to switch your signatures up without having to use dropdown menus. Want to include a company logo. It’s as good as done.
Some doctors will create templates for the left or right side of a procedure, making it easier for them to insert standard operation procedures and then fine tune the details. Why get stuck in doing the nitty-gritty when Dragon’s productivity power can do all the heavy lifting.
