Holiday 
Season's Greetings

All of us here at EXAQ would like to wish each of you and your families a wonderful and safe Holiday Season. We sincerely appreciate your support and the opportunity to have worked with you.

During all the upcoming seasonal hustle and bustle of shopping, travel, cold weather, worries about employment and H1N1 -- we hope that everyone finds at least some time in a warm place with good friends and loved ones to recognize and appreciate the many blessings that each of us has.

Sincerely,
Michael Moser

The DOR Dragon Virtual Users Group Meeting

We received several very positive comments on the November 18 meeting which included a short session on Creating Custom Navigation Commands for CIDOR.

The existing DOR Voice Commands for navigation were reviewed then the "Step by Step" macro capability of Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional was demonstrated.  Step-by-Step commands can be used to create automated keystroke sequences to quickly access any frequently accessed CIDOR pages or reports with a simple voice command.

The next Users Group meeting is scheduled for Dec. 16 which will review some of the overlooked features of the Show Notes command available in the DOR Voice Commands.  It's come to our attention that many DOR staff are not aware of the advantages of using the Show Notes command and those that are using the command are not aware of some of the options available with the command.

The Show Notes session will cover:

  • Effective CIDOR notes corrections and revisions by voice.
  • Easily review and revise larger notes, then split directly into multiple CIDOR screens.
  • Fine tuning the line lengths.
  • Inserting blank lines.
  • Temporary changes for the number of lines (used for shorter notes fields).
  • Productivity strategies using the Show Notes "Get more lines" command.
 Join us in December to see how you might take better advantage of this command to make entering notes faster and easier!

Register to receive User Group invites.
The DOR Virtual Users Group Meeting is hosted monthly by EXAQ.  Registration and attendance is open to all DOR Staff and there is no cost.

It would be great if ...

Have you ever been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking or working with someone using Dragon and thought " It would be great if Dragon could ...."

Well there is a very good chance that Dragon can!  Next time that comes up, give us a call and we would be happy to discuss if, or how, your idea might be accomplished.
