What Is the Difference?
One of the main questions that you probably have is "What is the difference between Dragon Medical One and Dragon Medical Practice Edition 4?"
Dragon Medical Practice 4 was released in January 2018 and utilizes similar technology to Dragon Medical One. Therefore, consumers can expect to enjoy similar performance from both software. However, the main difference between the two products is that Dragon Medical Practice was designed to be installed and run locally on the hard drive of the user's computer. This software uses the local resources, such as the storage, memory, and processing power, of the computer to run. If you use Dragon Medical Practice, you will only be able to access your voice profile on one workstation. This can be very inconvenient if you use many windows computers.
Dragon Medical One
Dragon Medical One is evolution of Dragon Medical Practice Edition. The main advantage of this software over the previous iteration is that your medical voice recognition profile will be stored within the secure Australian cloud. This means that you can use any computer that has access to the Internet to use your profile. Your templates and customised words can be accessed anytime and anywhere. All you need to do is log into DMO to access your customised data. Some examples of customised data include the names of new drugs and physician names. Also, your voice profile will be stored in the cloud and automatically backed up.
The pricing model for the Dragon Medical One is different as well. You will need to pay a subscription fee every year (minimum one-year commitment). However, there are many advantages associated with the subscription fee. You will enjoy additional features, such as the automatic backup of your medical voice recognition profiles. Other advantages include access to regular vocabulary and speech engine technology updates, which will improve language modelling, speed, and accuracy.
You can count on the Dragon Medical One software, as a cloud solution, to be up 99.5% of the time. This software is run on Australian Nuance data centres. These data centres are hosted on an ASD Certified Cloud Services called Microsoft Azure. No matter the time or where you are, you will always have access to Dragon Medical One software, boosting your productivity.
Setting up Dragon Medical One is very simple and you will be able to start diction immediately. There is no voice training. In the past, voice recognition products would have users speak different sentences so that the software could become accustomed to their voice. Both Dragon Medical software can achieve 99 percent accuracy without voice training. Another plus is that this software is powerful enough to account for different dialects and accents.
Whether you're new to Dragon Medical products or you already own the Dragon Medical Practice Edition, you should consider upgrading to Dragon Medical One.
Cloud technology is the future of PC based computers.
