    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.

    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.

    I just read this again. I'll have to sleep on it. I have 40+ to see tomorrow. Lord, I might not make it.

    Burning yourself out won't help anyone.

    There's a reason for the high suicide rate among docs!

If you&rsquo;re using Vista it&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.

    BTW, I think 3.5Gb of ram is the maximum under 32Bit windows XP

    Re: Additional software - SinĂ¡tica Monitor

    <h3>Sin&aacute;tica Monitor (Beta) for Firebird now. It's free!




    - works with Firebird 2.1 or higher. </h3>

    http://www.sinatica.com/blog/en/index.php/2008/10/sinatica-monitor-is-here


    Features and Benefits

    Real-time database monitoring
    Monitor your database in real-time and find out what is happening with your Firebird server.

    Observing your server's activity patterns, you can take actions to stop problems before they strike.



    Identify bottlenecks in your server's disk subsystem.

    Sin&aacute;tica Monitor has an I/O Activity Chart that distinguishes Read,
    Write, and Cache activities. 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.



    [​IMG]
    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>
    Sin&aacute;tica Monitor for Firebird constantly analyzes your database and
    warns you about problems. You only stop your other activities to
    monitor the database if you wish. Let Sin&aacute;tica Monitor do the hard work
    and alert you if something atypical happens.

    With a smart and highly customizable alarm system, you will find:



    Statements with large amounts of non-indexed reads.


    As one of the greatest villains of I/O performance, these statements
    are completely identified by Sin&aacute;tica Monitor. You can optimize your
    database where it needs it the most.

    Looks interesting .. but the free only applies to the beta test period. I presume that it stops working after that and then you pay.
