Do you ever wish there were two of you?
Today’s work culture is about maximising output, squeezing every little bit of value out of every minute, second even. Whether you’re self-employed or part of a bigger company, moving at full tilt without missing a beat can make you feel like you’re on a treadmill. This super diligence is what makes employees indispensable and what helps entrepreneurs get to the next level. Just like any machine, if you keep going hell for leather… something’s eventually got to give.
Dragon isn’t a myth, it’s a real asset to any company dedicated to getting more done in less time. Whether you’re automating routine tasks, building powerful templates or just ensuring expediency when it comes to communication with clients or colleagues… it’s a game-changer. While this empowering product is typically designed to augment a single user’s experience, one of its hidden secrets is that it can be used on your behalf.
The product’s license is per user but there are many instances where people who are strapped for time are able to incorporate Dragon’s time-saving benefits by integrating support staff. If you want to have full control of your dictation but let someone else do the fixes and formatting, listen up.
Dragon can enable you to get your dictation done as quickly as you can speak your document. Then, your support team can take care of the rest. Why spend time doing corrections, edits and format changes with special letterheads when this can all be done on your behalf.
First prize is always to dictate your document onto your screen directly so that you can see the body of your work come together. It’s also important to ensure Dragon is capturing your speech efficiently and accurately. Seeing the words appear instantly helps you keep your line of thought, eliminate waffle and get to the essence of your document or email. This helps you save time on turnaround proof-reading, getting your work fit for the finishing touches without being bogged down by the final clean up.
If you can’t dictate directly, you can do it wherever you can find a quiet space. Use your digital recorder or smartphone to dictate your notes for transcription later. Once you’re done, hand over your device and let your support team take care of the rest.
HCD can help integrate this solution into your business. The information above is there to help you understand the process but the ins and outs require more customisation, training and sometimes development.
