Have you explored using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for doing the initial typing of your notes? The computer record your voice and types at the same time, Then the transcriptionist can listen to what you said and correct it if it doesn't match. I understand that having that done by the transcriptionist is much less expensive and faster that way. .
I have the name of a person who works for the company who puts out NaturallySpeaking and handles the technical issues for the VA where they use it with VistA if anyone would like me to connect up with her to find out the details of how it is done at VA hospitals. I was introduced to her by a friend at an IT vendors session at VA Headquarters were I work. Unfortunately, I could only talk with her for a few minutes, but she said having the right hardware was important, particularly enough memory. Memory is pretty cheap now. Personally, I was impressed that by feeding Dragon a few hundred of my written notes, it was able to pick up a lot of the medical vocabulary I use without my having to buy the medical vocabulary from the company, which saved a chunk of change.
