A vocabulary list featuring Basic medical vocabulary. Vocabulary used in MDG201.
I don't know whether there's a specific dictionary for medical terms, but have you considered using the Add words from specific documents dialogue? You can have DNS scan documents you've already translated. It will identify words not in Dragon's dictionary and suggest them for addition. You may find that you need to do some training as you encounter new terms while translating, but you should need to train each term only once.I'm sure you're aware that there's a version of DNS intended specifically for doctors, but it's expensive and has some features a translator doesn't need.

Dragon types what you say, but to do that, it has to have the word you want to type in it's vocabulary.In the English interface, options to add to that built-in vocabulary are under the tab 'vocabulary'. You can let Dragon analyse written documents, and there are also options to add glossaries. So, for example, if you already have a term base in your CAT tool, you could export that to Dragon as a monolingual list.Likewise, if you have a purchased term list, you could add that too. I personally don't know if there are specific vocabularies on sale that you could import into Dragon. If there are, I would be interested to hear about them (for Dutch).For more information:and.

After googling 'medical vocabulary for dragon 14 professional' I found this item on ebay. I have always been leery of ebay because of perceived hucksterism and have only used it a couple of times over the years on low cost items.This ebay item (vendor prozac20) has limited info on it, (a single screencapture shot and the description-'150,000+ medical term vocabulary that integrates in to Dragon Naturally Speaking. This is the big one if you are serious about having great medical recognition at a great cost. ') There are 15-20 possibly different versions that range in cost from 80 to 90 dollars, and limited explanation to distinguish one from the other. The names range from 'Medical transcription vocabulary from dragon naturally speaking' to 'DNS Extensive Medical Vocabulary', to 'DNS 14 Medical Vocabulary', to 'DNS Comprehensive Medical Vocabulary' to 'DNS Ultimate Medical Vocabulary', to 'DNS Huge Medical Vocabulary'.
I ordered the 'DNS 14 Medical Vocabulary' for 90 dollars on sept 29- free shipping, 'one day shipping', one email said receive by Oct 1, the other said Oct. 2; Oct 2, has come and gone, no item.
When trying to track the item, there is no real way to track it- there is a 'track your order' button, but when clicked on just gives order date and payment date, but no tracking info.Knowbrainer had a medical vocabulary a few years ago but seems that is no longer available.Thoughts? Originally posted by: pathdoc Probably best just to contact the seller directly through the message center on eBay and ask what is up. If you don't get a reply, escalate to resolution center and request a refund. Watch your time frame, you have 45 days from order to file. Otherwise you may be stuck. I wouldn't wait until end of month to start wondering about delivery since you will only have 15 days left at that point.Alternatively, start searching for a person trolling around here at times under the disguise of 'Rag', or 'Ren Scott'.-No need to buy if all you want to do is try.DragonCapture, DragonEcho, DragonPhrases, DragonBench, DragonSources (more to come)Click the picture and find out!
Keep in mind that when you look at a third-party medical vocabulary, there's considerable more to the Nuance DMPE 2.2 products who are referred to as language models rather than vocabularies because the language model includes rules and multiple word phrases. In other words the real Dragon Medical product is a better choice and just about anything sold on eBay is questionable.We removed our vocabularies because of the effort involved and because we were not selling that many.-(615) 884-4558 x2(PDF)(30 Day Trial)(15 Day Trial). Monkey8,thanks for your reply. You said 'they are nothing more than lists of medical words that you can make up yourself using Google in about half an hour'. I am interested in giving that a try (using Google to add lists of medical words). Do you have any advice on how to do that or do I just google 'list of medical words' and upload it to dragon. I have not ever done this and I guess I could just do trial and error. Do you have any advice?
Should the list be in any special format like CSV file (comma separated value- series of words, phrases delimited by commas). I do not know if you have made a medical word list yet or have given up on the idea. Here is a website where you can start to make you list:. There were about 1500 entries just under the letter A.Probably you will want to have the words mostly in lower case - that might prove tedious if you do not have a way of automating that.The format for the 'Custom Words' to import into Dragon is that of a text file - one line for each word or phrase.If the word is foreign, follow the word with ' followed by what you might say to induce Naturally Speaking to write what you want.
For example:CartagenaCar ta hen ahmLCCPrevotella, Porphyromonas, Fusobacterium and Tannerelladental anaerobes-I have DME2 but have been using DPI 15 instead because of its better recognition and huge medical vocabulary in a backup dictionary.PDC.
