My experience has been with Lanier systems. Perhaps you could look on line?j-----Original Message-----From: histonet-bounces@lists.utsouthwestern.edu[mailto:histonet-bounces@lists.utsouthwestern.edu]On Behalf Of Regnault,RaoulSent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 4:23 PMTo: 'histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu'Subject: [Histonet] Standalone Dictation SystemThe pathologists here are looking for  a dictation system that allows alldictation functions to be accessed through a foot pedal. Our current systemhas been onsite modified to allow the concurrent use of the foot pedal witha dictation microphone while they are prosecting. This has the disadvantagethat a switch on the microphone needs to be worked to change from thedictation mode to transcription mode (and vice versa) to allow review andediting of the macroscopic dictation. They find this inefficient andcumbersome.The pathologists would also like to use a foot pedal and boom microphonewhile dictating microscopics instead of a hand microphone.All stand alone dictating dictating systems seem to expect foot pedals andheadsets to be used for transcription only and handheld microphones only tobe used for dictation. I believe some central and digital systems allow footpedal and mic but they are not an option at this time.Does any one on the list have experience, comments or pointers?Raoul Regnault Anatomic Pathology Kootenay Boundary Regional HospitalTrail BC_______________________________________________Histonet mailing listHistonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduhttp://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonetConfidentiality Notice ** The information contained in this message may be privileged and is confidential information intended for the use of the addressee listed above.
