Fixes and Known issues

This section contains information about fixes and known issues for Dragon Medical Practice Edition.

Bug fix Description

Displaying the Correction dialog box and the Spell dialog

Issue description Scenario

A user opens and starts Dragon. The user opens Notepad, Microsoft Word, or WordPad and begins dictation. The user says "Select that" or "Correct that" to display the Cor-rection dialog box. The use says "Spell that" to open the Spell dialog box.

Issue

The Correction dialog box may freeze and display a "Not responding" message. A 2 to 3 second delay occurs before Dragon displays the Spell dialog box to the user.

New behavior

After a Dragon user dictates into Dragon and opens the Correction Menu, saying "Spell that" displays the Spell dialog box as expected and without a time delay. AutoTranscribe Folder Agent does not

transcribe unencrypted .ds2 file on Windows Server 2008

Dragon is installed on Windows Server 2008, 32 bit edi-tion. A user starts the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent. The user creates a task to transcribe an unencrypted .ds2 file. Issue

The AutoTranscribe Folder Agent task does not transcribe an unencrypted .ds2 file.

New behavior

The AutoTranscribe Folder Agent task transcribes the unen-crypted .ds2 file as expected and without issues.

Selecting or correcting multiple text matches does not work in applications published from a Citrix server

Dragon is installed on a local workstation. A user begins using Dragon with an application published from a Citrix

(5)

server. The user disconnects from the network and is now using the local cache version of their user profile. The user issues a command to select or format multiple text

matches of a single word - for example, "Select <text>" or "Bold <text>".

Issue

When a user issues a command to select or format mul-tiple text matches, Dragon temporarily freezes and dis-plays the following error message:

"COM returned and unexpected error code...(RPC_S_ CALL_FAILED, 1726)"

New behavior

When working without a network connection, when a user issues a command to format multiple text matches of a word, Dragon behaves as expected and does not produce an error message.

Dragon displays the dialog box for non-medical formatting options

A user uses the DragonBar menu or a command line such as

natspeak.exe /setdefaultformattingoptions to display the medical formatting options dialog box.

Issue

Dragon displays the non-medical formatting dialog box. New behavior

To display the medical formatting options dialog box, from a command line (and with administrator access), issue this command:

natspeak.exe /setdefaultformattingoptions "<med-ical_vocabulary>"

where medical_vocabulary is the name of DMPE medical vocabulary.

For example:

natspeak.exe /setdefaultformattingoptions "US English | Large | General Medical"

Issues when copying and pasting dic-tation text from the DragonPad

A user dictates into the DragonPad. The user copies the text to the Windows clipboard. The user dictates new text into the DragonPad.

The user pastes the text from the Windows clipboard to a new screen in the EMR.

Fixes and Known issues

and pasting text works as expected. Pasted text contains correct text and characters.

Issues dictating into a pdf in Adobe Reader X 10.0.0

A user opens Dragon. The user opens a pdf in Adobe Reader X 10.0.0. The user starts dictating into either Adobe Reador or another application.

Issue

Dragon crashes and displays an error message such as SendKeys_Cancelled or a hook injection error. The user may have to reboot the Dragon workstation.

New behavior

A Dragon user can dictate while Adobe Reader X 10.0.0 is running without issues. Dragon behaves as expected and does not display an error message.

Dictating the word "level" or "axis" fol-lowed by a number formats numbers as Roman numerals

During dictation, a user says "level" or "axis" followed by a number. For example the user says "Vitamin D level thirty". The expected dictation result is "Vitamin D level 30".

Issue

Saying the word "level' or "axis" followed by a number results in the number being formatted as a roman numeral. For example, saying "Vitamin D level thirty" produces "Vitamin D level XXX" in dictation text. New behavior

You must use the Vocabulary Editor to specify how

numbers that follow the spoken word "level" or "axis" are to be treated.

Dragon too frequently prompts users to run Acoustic optimization

Dragon updates the vocabulary for a user profile as a Dragon user dictates and uses Dragon. Updates to the vocabulary causes the vocdelta.dat file to increase in size. When the vocdelta.dat file reaches a specific size, Dragon displays a message that tells the user to run acoustic opti-mization for the profile.

When the user runs acoustic optimization against a user profile, Dragon replaces the current vocdelta.dat file with a new one. The message that tells the user to run opti-mization does not display again until the vocdelta.dat file has once again reached its pre-set upper limit.

Issue

Dragon displays a message with the text "Too many changes to the vocabulary for user <name> have been

(7)

made"; prompting the user to run optimization again shortly after scheduled acoustic optimization or Accuracy Tuning ran against a user profile This issue does not occur if optimization is launched from the Accuracy Center. New behavior

Dragon does not prompt a user to run optimization shortly after a scheduled optimization task has run against the user's profile.

Opening an image in GE Centricity PACS-IW 3.7.3.7 prevents dictation recognition

A provider starts GE Centricity PACS-IW 3.7.3.7. The user opens the PACS-IW Study List browser window The pro-vider starts Dragon and begins dictation in to an appli-cation. The provider opens an image by selecting a record in the PACS-IW Study List.

Issue

After the user opens an image in the PACS-IW Study List, dictated text no longer transfers into an application until the user closes and restarts the application.

New behavior

Opening an image in the PACS-IW Study List does not impact the transfer of dictated text into DragonPad.
