Where can I get one? Just listened to you and David which reminded me to check your blog. Anything to be said about voice activated charting? Is there a bridge from the above device to progress notes? How about medical history? Are all these items stored as images or as text files with images. So you can search for a keyword(s).
Thanks

The link is in the first paragraph. I have not used it so I don’t knoe details it just looks interesting.
I am interested in buying one for my own use. The problem I have is that my work will not allow us to add any software to our PCs. Is there a way to take the files from the pad and view them as images in MS Office? I also have a iPAQ 4150 with a WiFi, Bluetooth, and an SD card slot, is there anyway to get the data to it?
Thanks
