You would have to uninstall Premium 12.5 before installing Dragon Medical because
DMPE 2 will recognize Premium 12.5 as being a newer version which means that you won?t be able to upgrade your user profile either. If you wish to upgrade your Premium 12.5 vocabulary, just click the DragonBar ?Vocabulary? menu followed by clicking ?Export custom word and phrase list?. If you have commands that you wish to import, NaturallySpeaking Premium has no way of exporting its commands but you can directly import the commands from within the DMPE 2 Command Browser. Our complementary KnowBrainer pictorial training/installation guide includes a step-by-step on that procedure.
Both Dragon Premium and DMPE 2 utilizes same speech engine but there?s far more to speech recognition than just a speech engine. Besides the obvious fact that DMPE 2 includes medical language models (vocabularies on steroids) it includes a number of other features that make it both more accurate and more importantly, more efficient. Dragon Medical allows you to dictate directly into most EMRs, includes the ability to create Advanced-Scripting, step-by-step and macro recorder commands, multiple vocabularies, network support, batch transcribing digital recordings, Deferred Correction along with other professional features. While dictation accuracy is an important factor, efficiency is even more important.
