Handsfree dictation (+ phone) options

By

I am in search of the ultimate handsfree dictation solution. I work across many different PACS, speech recognition software, sites, etc. so portability and compatibility are important. I also unfortunately have to take a lot of pages during my call shifts, so an option that also allows me to talk on my cell (and listen to music!) seamlessly would be great.

Right now I am using my Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones and they're actually pretty good. Realizing I can just use regular Bluetooth headphones to dictate was pretty lifechanging. The speech recognition quality is not quite as good as my wired SpeechMike, though. Enough to make me look for something better. Also, these version of the headphones don't support fast swapping between devices, so I can't answer a call while they are connected to my computer. (The newer version do support this).

The Philips SpeechOne seems to generally be viewed as "the best" headset dictation option, and I am tempted to buy, but it's $700 (in Canada). I don't mind paying that much for something I will use almost every day for many years, but only if it's actually better than other options. I'd be especially interested in hearing from someone who has experience with this headset.

My current plan is to buy the SpeechOne and wear my wireless earbuds connected to my cell underneath, so I could listen to music, answer calls, and dictate all handsfree without "swapping devices". It won't be stylish but it's the best plan I've come up with so far.

Can anyone else share their setup?

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
