Dragon Naturally Speaking Text Macro Library Last Updated: 11/23/2008

Welcome to the USAFP's Dragon Naturally Speaking Text Macro Library. This is a collection of text files that contain content for Dragon Naturally Speaking. These can be inserted into text fields in AHLTA for common histories, physical exam findings (impingement syndrome, ACL tear, acute abdomen, etc) and for procedures. Please see below for how to download and install these macros into Dragon Naturally Speaking at work or at home (if you have remote AHLTA access).

Important: For now, the library is in need of content. If you have developed any Word, text or RTF document you copy and paste into AHLTA text boxes, or if you have created any Dragon text snippets you insert into AHLTA text boxes, please send them to me so I can add them to this page (fpnet@msn.com).

(As-U-Type is a program that combines both a spell-check and a text macro capability) - below, we have placed As-U-Type text macros that can be imported and used for AHLTA. AS-U-Type can be used with any program. It has been extensively tested by the Army and seems to work with everything and break nothing.
