You can put Dragon 12 on two computers, or maybe it's three.

The way I use it -- mostly on a remote client, since I prefer to do my heavy duty charting at home where I can play with my dogs and put my feet up-- I can use standard Dragon 12 in the remote window through RDP and it works quite well.

I'm told that the "speech engine" is the same in Dragon 12 and all the professional versions -- it's just the vocabulary that is different -- and maybe initially some of the word patterns that would be more medical than conversational -- but it is amazing how much medical vocabulary and even drug names are already in v12 right out of the box.

In any case, it is very accurate and quite helpful after training it (and me) for a while. Have to use a good microphone, but actually Nuance cell phone mike app is amazingly good.

Dragon is really picky though -- you can use it in any browser window EXCEPT this one -- it will shut down, imagining that this user board is an EMR! It also won't work anywhere in Updox.
