I'm installing Synapse locally so I thought I would this start a thread to create a list of optional software used with Synapse. Here's what I have so far: 1. FIBS - Firebird Database backup Freeware 2. FireDaemon Pro - Run Synapse Server app as a Windows Service. $35 for 1 license. Any suggestions for document scanning and voice dictation software? Please feel free to add to the list.
We may support http://www.nch.com.au/express/index.html at some stage. We do have the facility to do scanning .... but don't have the time to build the scanning interface yet.
PaperPort 9 - scanning (purchase on ebay) - pretty cheap. Hamachi - VPN from home - free LogmeIN - PC access to server from home - free I use PaperPort 11 with Omnipage 15 to allow fully OCR'd documents. I am hoping to migrate to Omnipage alone or maybe Adobe Acrobat 7.
We have an application license for Dosadi's http://www.dosadi.com/ scanning modules. This includes a 3of9 barcode OCR recognition engine. If someone wants to design the workflow for this, I might be able to add to Synapse EMR.

Lord, I might not make it.

If you’re using Vista it’s best to have 3-4 GB of RAM. For an XP platform you will require 1 GB of RAM although 2 would be preferred.The software will run on less but won’t be as effective. NOTE: If you're looking at buying a new computer to use with DNS I would consider looking at ASUS computers. Regardless of what system you by, you want a Core2 Duo 2 GHz or better CPU speed, 2 GB of RAM an XP platform (3 GB on Vista), 2 - 4 MB of L2 cache, a SATA hard drive of at least 100 GB although you may be able get 160 for about the same price. Your soundcard will be important so go with a mid to high end Soundblaster. 2. If you are not using a Soundblaster card(or other high end after market soundcard) don’t depend on the integrated soundcard in your computer as it is probably poorly shielded. Get yourself an external soundcard (USB Pod) and use a USB port on the back of your computer as opposed to the front. 3. Here is a copy of the manual we wrote for version 9. It’s designed as version 9.5 upgrade manual but if you are a new user to DNS you can download a full copy manual at KnowBrainer.com.

Re: Additional software - SinĂ¡tica Monitor <h3>Sinática Monitor (Beta) for Firebird now.

This allows you to monitor (from anywhere anywhere and at anytime), if it is the disk subsystem that is preventing your database from functioning at peak performance. I/O Activity Chart Verify if your application's transaction management is working properly. Using the Transaction Activity Chart you can avoid a stuck transaction from hampering your Firebird server's performance. Transaction Activity Chart Optimize your development. Use the Greatest I/O Consumers Chart to find out which user, process, or client consumes the most server I/O resources. This allows you to focus your development resources on optimizing database areas that are actually going to improve performance. Greatest I/O Consumers <h3>Customizable Alarms</h3> Sinática Monitor for Firebird constantly analyzes your database and warns you about problems.

Re: Additional software - SinĂ¡tica Monitor Looks interesting .. but the free only applies to the beta test period. I presume that it stops working after that and then you pay.
