Is it possible to access Amazing Charts from home and dictate notes from home using Dragon?

It certainly is, and it works almost as well as dictating on the physical computer. The key is to use LogMeIn or a similar remote program to log in from your home computer into your work computer. People on the board have also reported they can bypass the requirement by Nuance to have Dragon Medical to dictate into an EMR. Apparently, dictating over a remote connection allows the Dragon user to dictate into Amazing charts using Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 (non-medical version), which is blocked if dictating on the same machine that runs AC.

Thanks for the quick response. For this to work, does it matter one way or the other if AC is hosted on a server versus a "main" computer.

It works best in Windows Remote Desktop -- at least for me.
Logmein also works, but it's a lot fuzzier.
You have to have Dragon on the remote machine, using AC on any other machine that you can connect with. I use a laptop at home with Dragon on the laptop to connect with my main "server" at the office (since there is just one of me, the server is my office computer.)

Which laptop are you using or which seems to be the best with Dragon and AC use ?

Which laptop are you using or which seems to be the best with Dragon and AC use ? Dragon Medical 10 is very resource intensive, in my experience. I was pretty efficient using a Core 2 Duo desktop with 4 GB RAM, but now, using a i5 desktop with 8GB RAM, the dictated text appears almost instantaneously. Another doc in my office uses an i5 laptop with 4GB RAM, which is almost as fast. Several years ago I used a desktop with AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU, and I didn't have as good responsiveness as the Intel Core 2 Duo, in my opinion.

We just tested Dragon 10, dictating remotely from our office PC into Wordpad on the home PC, and it worked using both GoToMyPC and LogMeIn. This is good news. On first glance, it appears GoToMyPC was faster. Will obviously need to install Dragon at home and hope it goes as seemlessly in the other direction into AC.

I have the best luck with Windows Remote Desktop, though LogMeIn works fairly well.
It really depends on a fast upload speed, and there are funny quirks -- you can't really tell sometimes where it is going to put the next letter, or whether the next word will be capitalized. But it beats typing, most of the time
