As part of the transition to EMRs, many doctors are experiencing significant workflow interruptions that add hours onto their workday and impact the number of patients they are able to treat each day.  Dragon Dictate Medical for Mac lets these clinicians more efficiently tackle their workload and keep the focus on patient care by enabling them to document and navigate within MacPractice EMR simply by using their voice. 

Dragon Dictate Medical for Mac also allows doctors to navigate other Mac-based applications beyond the EMR, such as email messages to other caregivers, by leveraging the fastest, most accurate medical speech recognition.  Dragon Dictate Medical for Mac's speech recognition engine is up to 99 percent accurate out of the box and translates voice into text up to three times faster than most people can type.  The solution also offers medical vocabularies covering more than 90 specialties, and is designed specifically for use by physicians, dentists and chiropractors
