Dragon Medical Practice Edition 4 Has Been Replaced by Dragon Medical One
Nuance no longer sells or supports Dragon Medical Practice Edition 4 (DMPE4). Its replacement is Dragon Medical One, a cloud-based speech recognition platform built for doctors, nurses, and other clinicians. If you use DMPE4 today, moving to Dragon Medical One keeps your speech-to-text workflow current and supported.
Why Clinicians Are Moving to Dragon Medical One
- Cloud-based: No local server or software installs to maintain. Updates happen automatically.
- Your profile follows you: Log in from any workstation and Dragon already knows your voice and vocabulary.
- EHR integration: Dictate directly into your electronic health record and other clinical software.
- Mobile option: The PowerMic Mobile app turns your smartphone into a wireless dictation microphone.
- Subscription pricing: One annual cost per user instead of large upfront license and upgrade fees.
Can I Keep My Microphone?
In most cases, yes. Dragon Medical One works with the Nuance PowerMic 4, Philips SpeechMike models such as the SMP3700, and many other USB dictation microphones. Browse all dictation microphones if you need a new one.
