General notes: Dragon Dictate Medical for Mac is Intel only, but it will work on any Intel-based Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard) through Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with at least 1GB of RAM. However, if this is not an option, you now have the opportunity to use Dragon Dictate Medical. Introducing the all-new Dragon Professional Individual for Mac, v6. The Dragon Dictate Medical for Mac product and the Dragon Medical product are supported by different Technical Support group s. NOTE #2: If you have the option to use Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2 (w/DNS 12 Speech Engine) for the PC on a Mac running a virtual Windows environment such as Parallels, Boot Camp or an actual PC, we recommend doing so because DMPE 2 is notably more developed. NOTE #1: Current MacSpeech Medical users have the option of upgrading to the Dragon Dictate Medical Upgrade but this is the only upgrade path available.
While Dragon Dictate Medical does not include professional amenities such as a Roaming user profile network support, the ability to export your vocabulary with pronunciations or the ability to create advanced scripting commands, it utilizes the same speech engine as Dragon Medical Practice Ed 2 and includes the ability to transcribe digital recordings. Dragon Dictate Medical is basically a combination of Dragon Dictate with 90 medical specialty language models (vocabularies on steroids). Designed for physician practices, Dragon Medical Practice Edition achieves 99 accuracy out of the box without requiring any voice profile training by amplifying a next generation speech engine with 90 medical speciality vocabularies combined with acoustic models based on the unique way physicians speak. If you are a physician using a Mac EMR (such as MacPractice, PowerMed, Practice Solutions or EXmedic) or you’re required to use a Mac computer, Nuance has finally released Dragon Dictate Medical not to be confused with MacSpeech Medical which has been discontinued.
