Microphones

Smartphone & Microphone

Mix and match between Smartphone and microphone depending on your workflow and environment.

Handheld vs Headset

If the physician dictates numerous short bursts of dictation throughout the day without the need for being hands-free, then a hand-held microphone is very useful.

If, on the other hand, the physician dictates only a couple of times per day or needs to work hands-free (i.e. physically handling charts and notes), then a microphone headset would be more appropriate.

Both a wired and wireless solution are available for headset and handheld microphones.

Multicomputer Installations

Each user of DMO may have their subscription implemented on the same computer without compromising one another’s DMO user profile (only use your subscription account of DMO; never any one else’s).

As the DMO user profile is in the cloud, learning and refinements are updated in the cloud and available to you no matter which computer you use.
