Best software for real-time transcription

I’ve been testing a few transcription software options for real-time notes during patient visits, and I’m curious what others are using… So far, Otter has been decent, but I still have to clean up a fair bit afterward. Anyone else have recommendations for tools that help improve efficiency on the fly?

I’ve had good luck with Nuance Dragon for real-time transcription during patient visits. It adapts well to my voice and medical terminology, which cuts down on the cleanup. Have you tried it yet, or are you sticking with Otter for now?

If you’re looking for something to minimize cleanup, I’ve found that experimenting with voice commands in Nuance Dragon really helps. It’s like training a puppy; it takes patience, but the results can be worth it! Have you tried adjusting the vocab settings?

Have you tried Google Docs Voice Typing? It’s surprisingly accurate for real-time dictation, and it integrates well with other tools. I’d recommend giving it a go, especially if you’re looking to minimize that cleanup time during patient visits.
