To utilize the OnePacs Reporting tool on macOS to enable dictation using third party tools such as Fluency DirectTM* (FD), first update to the latest version of OnePacs Desktop for macOS.
Ensure that the dictation tool (FD) is running by launching the application in macOS. Next, select "OnePacs VR helper app (macOS)" as the Voice Recognition engine for reporting in user preferences. This option will display in this menu only if OnePacs detects that the necessary resources are present on the macOS computer:
If this option does not show in your VR engine menu, it may be necessary to enable third-party macOS dictation integration for your account; please contact your group administrator for assistance.
Next, to establish a connection between OnePacs reporting and the FD application, open the dictation box/OnePacs Reporting window from the OnePacs Study Retriever menu:
This will open a window entitled "OnePacs Reporting", which serves to receive recognitions from Fluency Direct and forward them to the OnePacs reporting system.
Instructions regarding the use of the window display within the window when it is first opened. In the following screenshot, the OnePacs Reporting window is shown, with the Fluency Direct application control widget ("pill") located beneath the Reporting window:
After opening the Reporting window, it is necessary to direct text from the voice recognition application to the window to facilitate dictation of text into the OnePacs system.
This is accomplished with FD by activating the OnePacs Reporting window, and dictating the command "Set Target". When the OnePacs Reporting window has been successfully set as the recipient of text output from FD (the "Target"), at the top of the FD control widget ("pill"), a crosshairs symbol and the text "OnePacs Reporting" will be displayed, as follows:
At this point, FD is active as the VR solution for OnePacs Reporting.
*Note: Fluency DirectTM is a third party product which may be used for dictation with the OnePacs system; no endorsement of or affiliation with the OnePacs system is implied.
