Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Dragon and a dictation recorder?
Dragon software converts your speech to text in real time as you dictate into a computer or microphone. A digital dictation recorder captures your voice as an audio file, which is then transcribed later - either manually by a typist or via software. Many professionals use both: a recorder in the field, Dragon at the desk.
Do I need Dragon software or is cloud speech recognition enough?
It depends on your workflow. Dragon Professional works offline, has deep Windows application integration, and can automate complex tasks by voice. speech to text software from SpeechRecognition.cloud is a lightweight installed Windows app that works in any application - the base package is free and it is a cost-effective way to get started. We can help you work out which approach suits your situation.
What dictation hardware do you recommend for healthcare?
For healthcare workflows, Philips SpeechMike and SpeechOne devices are widely used with Dragon Medical One. Olympus digital recorders work well for clinicians who prefer to dictate remotely and have audio transcribed. The right choice depends on whether you are dictating directly into an EMR or using a separate transcription workflow.
Is Dragon Medical One available in Australia?
Yes. Dragon Medical One is available through Voice Recognition Australia, Australia's number one Nuance/Microsoft reseller for speech recognition and Dragon software. VRA's founder and CEO Russell Bewsell has 28 years of experience in the speech recognition industry and is one of Australia's leading authorities on Dragon deployment in healthcare and enterprise. Contact Voice Recognition Australia for current Australian pricing.
What is a foot pedal used for in dictation?
A foot pedal lets a typist or transcriptionist control audio playback hands-free during transcription - play, pause, rewind and fast-forward using their feet while their hands remain on the keyboard. Philips and Olympus both make foot pedals designed for their respective dictation workflows.
What is Philips SpeechLive and who is it for?
Philips SpeechLive is a cloud-based dictation workflow platform. You dictate on any device - phone, SpeechMike, or web browser - and recordings are securely routed to a transcriptionist or to Dragon speech recognition for automated conversion. It is widely used in healthcare, legal, and professional services environments that need a managed, auditable dictation workflow.
