The commands combine multiple clicks into one fast command for the busy physician. Simply say "Search UpToDate for Wllbutrin contraindications" and Dragon Medical 10.1 and UpToDate take you there. For Medical & Medical Enterprise Only.

  • Hidden Mode Icon. Users will now see an icon to remind them if text dictated into Hidden Mode is ready to be transferred into an EHR text box. You can also decide if you want to stay in Hidden Mode after transferring text or return to a "normal" mode where your cursor is active in the EHR. For Medical & Medical Enterprise Only.
  • Microphone Sleep Mode. User can set Dragon Medical to have their microphone go to sleep when they want: ten minutes, a half hour, or even two hours since Dragon Medical was last used. For Medical & Medical Enterprise Only.
