I SPEAK DRAGON 2009 – AUDIO FILES
1
Dragon Customer Ronald Banks
“I am a licensed psychologist in private
practice, specializing in mobile forensic
psychological assessments. I administer
psychological batteries in the field (juvenile
justice facilities, foster homes) on a weekly
basis. I needed a quicker, more efficient
method to complete my evaluations in a
timely manner especially with upcoming court
dates looming. It is critical that I have timely
submission of the evaluations so that the
children do not languish in the court system
longer than needed. With Dragon I use a
digital voice recorder to dictate a report
immediately, sometimes while driving back to
my office. A report can be completed and
emailed to the court within minutes. Without
Dragon Naturally Speaking a report used to
take 10+ hours to type. Dragon has enabled
me to expedite reports and help to facilitate
the treatment services the children
desperately need to improve their lives.”

A Deputy Chief Operating Officer Using Dragon
“I am the Deputy Chief Operating Officer of a
federal funded organization and the
correspondence, email and reports associated
with this position used to be overwhelming.
That was before I starting Speaking Dragon,
now it is manageable! Having to reply to 75125 emails a day, do field inspection reports,
write letters and meeting minutes in addition to
my normal tasks and projects would now be
impossible for me without the use of my
Dragon NaturallySpeaking office assistant. I
say assistant because it has truly become
exactly that to me! I love being able to put on
my microphone and get 4 hours of work done
in less than 1 hour. It is so helpful to quickly
put that mic on and dictate notes on something
I am reading that will require a report or pull
my recorder out while out in the field and
dictate my inspection findings then just
convert that into my report and have it instantly
99% completed. Professionally I do not think
I could now survive without Dragon.”

A School Social Worker Using Dragon
“As a school social worker, part of my job
is to visit and counsel with parents and
children. But, this also requires lots of word
processing and notes, filling in forms, and
case management reports. ... It is very
time consuming and becomes difficult to
multi-task ... Some years ago, I began
looking for a better and faster way to do
my reports, so I could spend more time
with parents and children, and counseling
them in their homes. With Dragon, I began
dictating my notes between home visits.
Instead of taking 1 1/2-3 hours to create a
social history, I was only taking 30 minutes
or less. When one compares how much
time and money is saved using Dragon, it
pays for itself in a very short time period.”

A Clinical Psychologist Using Dragon
“I am a clinical psychologist and I use
DNS to dictate my assessments and
session notes. Doing so has allowed me
to save considerable time and also to be
more thorough in my session notes. The
time saving is particularly important as I
have only limited time between patients
and prefer to do my notes when the
information is freshest. Furthermore, the
time saving does not compromise the
thoroughness of my notes. To the
contrary, using DNS allows me capture
my thoughts more naturally and to record
them in detail with less overall time
expenditure.”

A Clinical Psychologist Using Dragon
“As a Manhattan based clinical
psychologist, I dictate notes following
each contact with a patient. As the
director of one of the state's busiest
group practices I am responsible for
making sure each new patient I
interview gets assigned to the proper
therapist on my staff. Furthermore, I
am responsible for my own private
caseload. Using Dragon since version
8 came out, I have cut my record
keeping down at least 75%. In addition
to my staff of 20 therapists I have 5
kids; time is valuable -- I will never go
back to typing treatment notes.”
