Dictating with OnePacs

Voice recognition

Computer-based voice recognition for radiology reporting has become extremely accurate and due to the substantial cost savings compared with transcription services, is the preferred method of report dictation for many radiologists.

Recommended packages

The following voice recognition packages are recommended for use with OnePacs.

OnePacs Voice Recognition

OnePacs offers its own voice recognition solution (OPVR Cloud), which is tightly integrated into the OnePacs reporting system.  OPVR is built into the Cloud Report Editor and does not require installation or training.  Documentation can be found here.

Dragon Medical Practice Edition

The recommended third party voice recognition solution for use with OnePacs is the

Third Party Voice Recognition Products

While OnePacs allows the use of 3rd party voice recognition products, the best level of integration remains OPVR Cloud.  Features such as saving of audio files, certain voice command, and others may not be supported when using a 3rd party product. 

M*Modal

M*Modal's Fluency Direct product may be used with OnePacs and supports both mac OS and Microsoft Windows. 

Dragon Medical Practice Edition

Dragon medical professional/medical practice software package from Nuance. This is a software package that installs individually onto each PC (Windows 8.1 and 10 supported) on which dictation will be performed. There is an approximately $1,600 one-time cost per user for unlimited use of the voice recognition system. Options exist for central deployment of user profiles.

To use Dragon Medical Professional with OnePacs, simply use the Dragon voice recognition system to generate text which should be entered by the system directly into the report body edit section of the OnePacs report entry window.

nVoq "Say it"

Some groups using OnePacs utilize the nVoq "Say it" medical speech recognition solution.

Setting plain text editing mode in the Classic Report Editor

When using OnePacs Classic Voice Recognition (deprecated), or a third party voice recognition software package, it is recommended that users enter reports in plain-text mode, to facilitate voice recognition-based formatting or editing and navigation features.

To do so, first access reporting preferences either from the general “User Preferences” item in the “Options” menu on the main OnePacs worklist page, or by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the OnePacs report window.

The option to be selected appears as follows:

To confirm that you are reporting in plain text mode, check for the presence of a rich text editing toolbar at the top of the report edit field (it will be absent in plain text mode):

If you are editing in rich text mode, a text formatting toolbar will be present:


 

Using Dragon while reviewing cases

Hidden mode

If the computer on which dictation is being performed is also the PC which is being used for case review, one may use the hidden mode feature of Dragon Medical Practice Edition to enable simultaneous dictation while reviewing cases. To use this feature, say the words “hidden mode on” when you wish to enter hidden mode. Your dictation from that point onwards will be recognized by Dragon, but rather than “typed” immediately, it will be stored for later use. After you have finished case review, place the cursor in the location where you wish the recognized text to be pasted, and say the words “transfer text”. The results of your dictation during the time hidden mode was on will be pasted at the cursor location.

A video demonstrating use of this feature is available here.

dns.comfort software package with "SpeechLock"

If a radiologist wishes to simultaneously dictate, using Dragon voice navigation and editing commands, Dragon Medical Practice Edition may be used along with a third-party software product called "dns.comfort", sold by Sonic Labs (http://www.sonic-labs.net/en/). This software product offers a feature called "SpeechLock", which can be used to direct all dictation activity into a specified window, even while other windows/applications are being used. To use this feature to facilitate dictation into OnePacs, for example, a user may enable the "Auto-Lock" setting on the Dragon dictation box. This means that, whenever the Dragon dictation box is open, all speech/dictation activity will be routed to it, even while the users is reviewing/manipulating cases in OnePacs workstation. Users may, for example, establish standard Dragon macros using bracketed variables and so on, and navigate through the dictation using voice commands. When the dictation is finished, the user may activate the text field of the OnePacs report edit window and say "Transfer text" to move the dictation from the Dictation box to the OnePacs report edit window.
