1. Add the DPM8000 as a source to an existing profile (best method since the profile will
include all the commands and personalized words in the original profile)
2. Create an entirely new profile dedicated to the digital recorder
Here is a quick review of the preferred method – adding the DPM8000 as a new source to your
existing user profile. We use DMPE2 as the software in this tutorial.
1. From the Profile menu, select "Open User Profile"
2. If you have multiple profiles, be sure the profile to which you want the DPM8000 added
is open and is selected.
3. From the menu on the right, select "Source" and then "New"
4. After a short delay, a "New Dictation Source" window will open
5. From the drop down menu, select "Digital Audio Recorder"
6. Click OK and follow all subsequent instructions. You will have the opportunity to read a
long passage of text (either from the screen or a printed version) into your digital recorder
and will then import the recording from your recorder into Dragon. At that point Dragon
will analyze your speech and complete construction of the new source for your user
profile.
7. Remember to open the source created for your digital recorder when actually planning to
use the digital recorder for transcription. If you don't ... well ... it will probably work
reasonably well anyway!
Overview of Transcription Methods:
Although all methods of transcription with the DPM8000 begin with use of the recorder, there
are several methods by which this recording can be processed and converted to text in a word
processing document or an electronic health record (EHR). Each method involves connecting
your recorder to a personal computer, either with the included docking cradle or with a USB
cable connecting directly between the DMP800 and your computer.
Once connected, you will have several options in terms of using Dragon to transcribe your
recording. These are the basic methods:
1. Drag & drop recording file to Dragon toolbar: If you use Windows Explorer (basic
Windows navigation) to locate the file containing a transcription and drag it to the
Dragon toolbar, it will be automatically transcribed within a DragonPad window. From
here you can save it, copy it or do whatever you want with it
2. Select "Transcribe Recording" from the Tools menu: after configuring this the first time,
initiating this functionality takes you directly to your files on the connected DPM8000
via Windows Explorer so that you can select the file to transcribe and it will then
