Using Fields (ODMS R8/R7)

Fields are used in document templates to make voice recognition quicker and easier. Fields are always shown in square brackets on the document template.

There are two types of fields for use with speech recognition:

Custom Field: This is any field that you might add to the template in order to fill it in more quickly e.g. [My Client’s name] or [Add summary here]. They can be selected by saying “Next Field”/”Previous Field” during speech recognition.

Using Fields 1

Note: Custom fields can only be used with Real-time VR as they require the user to navigate to them during dictation by saying “Next Field” or pressing a button on their device.

Information Field: An information field can be used to tell ODMS to insert information from the dictation, or set the starting point of speech recognition.

The ODMS R8/R7 supports FTP, which allows for efficient file transfer and management within the system. This functionality is designed to streamline the workflow for dictation and transcription tasks by enabling secure and reliable file transfers between the ODMS components and external servers.
