No. Unfortunately, Nuance no longer produces any speech recognition products compatible with Apple Mac OS.

Dragon Legal Anywhere cannot run natively on macOS, it CAN still be used on macOS machines in one of the following ways:   

• VMWare Fusion for Mac or Parallels® – These applications run a Windows operating system “virtually” within macOS. Any version of Dragon can then be installed on this virtual OS and natively control other Windows applications. Dictated text can be copied across platforms into applications running on macOS if required. Dragon cloud-based speech recognition solutions such as Dragon Legal Anywhere is particularly well suited to this approach since it is very lightweight so minimal resources need to be allocated to the Windows OS. Other Dragon software versions (such as Dragon Professional Individual & Dragon Professional Group) will also work this way, however, system resources must be considered. A Philips SpeechMike or other USB microphone can be used with this approach.

• Apple Boot Camp – This approach splits your Mac’s disk into two parts – one for macOS and one for Windows – allowing Windows applications like Dragon to be used as though your Mac were a Windows PC. Your macOS applications will not be available while running Windows, however, system resources are less of a concern as Windows will have access to all that is available. The virtual OS approach is still preferred where there are sufficient resources available to run both operating systems simultaneously.

No. As with all Dragon products, Dragon Legal  Anywhere, Dragon Professional Anywhere, Dragon Professional Group and Dragon Professional Individual are licensed per author.  During set-up, each user creates their own unique Dragon Voice Profile.  A Dragon user profile is a set of files that Dragon uses to process what you dictate. Your Dragon user profile stores unique acoustic and language information, as well as system preferences and settings as well as the type of microphone you use, custom words, and vocabulary.

Sharing a Dragon profile with other authors is in breach of the Nuance end-user-license agreement (EULA) and will also significantly affect the Dragon profile accuracy.  Multiple logins to the cloud platform simultaneously may also result in users being "locked-out" and data loss.

Yes. Dragon Legal Anywhere is licensed per author and can be installed on multiple Windows computers, giving the same user access to their profile at the office and when working remotely.

Yes, when Dragon Legal Anywhere is used in conjunction with the optional SpeechExec Enterprise+ SpeechKit solution authors - or their support staff/typists - can submit pre-recorded dictation for background speech-to-text conversion.  Once transcribed by Dragon the resulting text can be proofread, corrected and formatted by either the author or support staff with the aid of the partnering audio.

SpeechExec Enterprise is a complete end-to-end dictation and transcription management solution and can be an on-premise solution or hosted by VoiceX.

Note: Dragon Legal Anywhere must be partnered with SpeechExec Enterprise + SpeechKit for background speech recognition.  Speech-to-text conversion of a pre-recorded dictation is not available as standard with Dragon Legal Anywhere.

Please allow between 24-48 business hours for your Dragon Legal Anywhere profile to be created from order confirmation.  A welcome kit that will include each user's log-in details and application download link will be emailed upon the profile creation.

VoiceX offers existing Dragon software users special "upgrade/loyalty discounts".  View our full range of subscription options here.

Dragon Legal Anywhere however is a completely different technology platform and being a cloud-based solution means you can not "upgrade" your existing software or profile.  You can however export your existing Dragon profile customisations, such as custom words and import these into your new Dragon Legal Anywhere profile.

Selecting the right kind of microphone to suit how you dictate, where you dictate and what applications you dictate into is can make all the difference when it comes to your speech recognition accuracy.

Microphones should be noise-cancelling - preferably with noise-isolating features - and designed with speech recognition in mind.

It is also important to consider what your main objective is for speech recognition when selecting your microphone style.  For example, if you are wanting to dictate directly into and navigate around a template or practice management software - you may wish to consider a USB Dictation Microphone such as the Philips SpeechMike Premium which was designed specifically for use with speech recognition.

There are many different styles of microphones that can be used for speech recognition, including; handheld microphones with navigation control (such as SpeechMike Premium and Nuance PowerMic III ) and of course headset microphones for those who require hands-free way of working.
