Dragon Medical One’s anchor speech focus feature enables you to anchor your cursor where you want your text to go, like a note field in your EHR, while focusing on other details of the patient’s chart or a research web page, without interrupting your documentation workflow.

To anchor speech focus while dictating:

  1. Open Dragon Medical One and the target application (the program you are dictating into).

  2. Place your cursor where you want your text to be typed.

  3. Turn on your microphone and say anchor speech focus. The microphone icon will change to a lock symbol.

  4. Begin dictating while you navigate through other applications. The microphone icon will change to a lock symbol inside a green circle while the microphone is on.

To cancel and go back to regular dictation, say release speech focus.

Note: The anchor speech focus feature may not be compatible with certain web-based EHRs or applications. If your environment does not support anchor speech focus, use the dictation box to capture dictation while navigating and transfer the text to your EHR.
