• SMART CONFIGURATION!
  Dragon Medical Practice Edition runs on a variety of hardware, from netbooks and tablets to high-powered desktops. The software automatically detects hardware resources and sets up the recommended configuration.
• REDUCE OR ELIMINATE MANUAL TRANSCRIPTION
  With Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2.0, you can save thousands of dollars per physician every year!
• RECOGNITION ANALYTICS!
  A small percentage of misrecognitions can be caused by simple audio quality issues, such as incorrect microphone connection or placement, background noise, and microphone out of range or low on battery. Dragon Medical Practice Edition automatically detects poor audio input; it then alerts the user (in various ways depending on the issue), offering advice to remedy the situation. This allows Dragon Medical Practice Edition to use the best audio possible—an important factor for accuracy.
• RECOGNITION SPEED!
  Dragon Medical Practice Edition improves recognition response time. The software is also faster than previous editions when selecting application menu items by voice, or executing voice commands that perform actions within applications (e.g., “insert page break”, “make that red”, etc.).
• FASTER THAN TYPING!
  Most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute. That means you can get instantly transcribed clinical notes, referral letters, and e-mails about three times faster with Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 11! You can even create special voice commands that instantly build and format templates for clinical notes.

  You'll be dictating to your PC right away! No script reading required to get started. We even include a full set of on-screen tutorials, and a Nuance approved noise-canceling microphone.

• USE WITH ANY WINDOWS PROGRAM!
• SMART CORRECTIONS!
  Dragon Medical Practice Edition enters corrections using the keyboard straight into the user profile. When a user dictates something, and then retypes it to correct a misrecognition, the software identifies this as a correction and uses it to adapt the user’s profile, improving the software’s accuracy over time. Use your voice to dictate, edit and control virtually any Windows application, including the full Microsoft® Office Suite, Corel® WordPerfect®, and any Electronic Medical Records application.
• NEW DRAGON SIDEBAR!
  Dragon Medical Practice Edition’s new desktop assistant is a major enhancement that allows users to discover and remember many commands and tips.
