Customizing your personal settings within Dragon Medical Practice Edition allowed the users to set up unique settings for their own unique workflow. From the use of contractions, spelling out of numbers, and date formating. Now, this can be achieved within Dragon Medical One as well.
When your microphone is activated you can simply say “Manage Formatting”. If you are already in the help menu you can also navigate there through the menu itself with a few mouse clicks.
Once you have the help window open you can click on the hamburger menu on the top left of the screen which will then open a hidden menu. From there you will click on “Manage Formatting” at the bottom of the list.
Once that menu has been expanded you will see the following categories:
- Dates
- Times
- Numbers
- Measurements
- Vertebrae
- Numbered Lists
