Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Dragon on Mac with Parallels.

Does anyone have any experience with Dragon installed on a Mac with Parallels/VMware Fusion?

I have an IMac at home, which I connect through Logmein to my office Windows 7 computer. I have Dragon Medical 2 for pc. To dictate at home, I was thinking of installing Parallels -> Windows 7 -> Dragon Medical 2 and then 'transfer text' to AC at work through Logmein.

Does anyone use this setup or have any comments? Thank you in advance.

Zak,

The short answer is yes, it will work. I prefer Parallels over VMware. Note that you will need a minimum of 8 Gb of RAM on your iMac but I recommend 16 so that you can share 8 Gb of RAM with each OS. if you don't have 16 Gb of RAM, we recommend using Bootcamp. On the upside, you will literally be turning your Mac computer into a Windows-based PC with all of the available RAM but on the downside, you will not be able to click from the Mac OS to the Windows OS without rebooting. I recommend contacting your nearest Mac store to have Windows and your virtual environment installed.
