How is Drag'N Go used?

In any environment where you need to take Dragon dictated text and transfer it to a computer that doesn't have Dragon installed on it. That can be a Thin Terminal, a Windows computer, a Mac, a Citrix terminal, anything that has an available USB port. Anything that can accept a USB keyboard, for example.

Will it work in locked down systems; e.g.. hospitals with USB port monitoring policies or government facilities?

Yes. The target dongle appears to the system as an ordinary USB keyboard and does not trigger or cause any monitoring or security alerts to the system as it truly is just sending type written keystrokes to the target computer at about 300 words per minute.

No. First of all, the USB dongle on the target machine is only seen as a USB Human Interface Device Keyboard and has no memory, upload or download capability. It can not provide any viruses since all it can is send keystrokes that are transmitted from the sending computer that Dragon loaded on it.

Is there any type of built in test on the hardware or software?

Yes. The software contains error checking and communications testing to alert the user that the sending dongle has been inserted. These tests are also done upon the insertion of the target dongle on the target machine. The system performs a round trip communications check between both dongles and verifies that the target computer can accept keystrokes.

What if I want to do my Dragon dictation on my own Dragon equipped laptop and then later in the day transfer the patient files to a variety of different computers in one or more facilities?

Easy! Simply use the multiple mailbox function in the Drag'N Go software. There are up to five special memories/mailboxes that will store your type written reports that you dictated using Dragon Medical. Then when you get to the facilities, merely take the target dongle, insert it into the first computer where you want to transfer the information, open up the contents of the pre-dictated text and say, "Move it." And the text will be transferred to that first computer.
Subsequently, you can take the target dongle to additional computer, one after another, wherever you wish and plug the dongle in, wait a few seconds, pull up the mailbox or history for that particular dictation and say, "Move it."
This allows you to dictate either real time in front of a computer you are going to transfer to or you can transfer the text later. Drag'N Go saves a history of everything you've dictated in a daily log.

What's the normal way of using Drag'N Go? How does it work?

Dictate your reports and do all of your editing on your Dragon equipped laptop or Windows Tablet. That can be templates, letters, briefs, diagnosis, histories, analysis, etc. and the Drag'N Go screen will capture all that. When you're happy with it and you want to send it the computer that is not equipped with Dragon, merely insert the target dongle to the target machine and the text will be moved to the target machine.

What if I don't have the cursor in the right spot on the target machine and all the text that I moved over with Drag'N Go doesn't appear there because the cursor is in the wrong spot?

Merely get the cursor in the right spot on the target machine and say, "Move last," and the last thing that you sent will be sent again. Drag'N Go never loses what you say. That will be retained in daily history files.

What if I want to copy and paste parts of a diagnosis that are the same for another patient?

Easy! What you do is open up the history log, highlight the section of diagnosis or verbiage that remains the same and then do a copy and paste function into the main Drag'N Go window and then say, "Move it." You can mix and match any text from a previous dictation into a new dictation that you want to be sent to the target computer.

I want to use a wireless Dragon approved headset microphone such as the VXi VoxStar or Plantronics SaviGo. When I am using it I don't want to have to say, "Wake up," or, "Go to sleep," to turn the mic on and off when I'm walking around and when I'm using this in a tablet mode I don't have a keyboard readily available. How do I effectively mute and unmute the mic?

Easy! There's a touch sensitive On/Off button that is visible at the bottom of your tablet that is built into Drag'N Go. Merely touch the area of the screen to mute or unmute your microphone.

What if I have been dictating into Drag'N Go and I'm almost ready to transfer but then I decide I don't like anything I said, can I quickly get rid of it?

Yes. Merely say, "Clear screen," and the current text will be erased allowing you to start over.

What if I forget to plug in the target computer dongle but I've already done my dictation?

The Drag'N Go software will alert you that you do not have the target dongle inserted. So go ahead and plug it and wait for the acknowledgment comes up on the icons that it is ready and say, "Move it," and the text will be moved.

I have a computer that was probably never exposed to an external USB keyboard before and it's a Windows computer and when I insert the target dongle it wants to go out to the web showing the message, "Windows is searching for drivers." While it goes and searches for drivers for thirty seconds or a minute, what do I do?

Sit back and relax. The Drag'N Go system will perform a Windows keyboard scroll lock test on the target computer and will alert you when the computer has completed downloading its Windows Human Interface Keyboard driver and then a check mark will appear on the Drag'N Go software.
