Dragon Medical One + SpeechLive

Dragon Medical One with Helium is fully supported to run natively on an Apple Mac environment. 

However, Dragon Medical One on it's own is not compatible with Mac. If you do not have a Helium subscription for Dragon Medical One you can consider one of the options below. 

• VMWare 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 Medical One (DMO) 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 versions (such as Dragon Professional & Dragon Legal) will also work this way, however, system resources must be considered. A Philips SpeechMike or other USB microphone can be used with this approach.

• Windows Remote Desktop Service /Terminal Server or Citrix – If you connect to a Windows-based server, you can install some versions of Dragon on the server itself where it will be able to natively control other application on the server. PowerMic Mobile (only available for Dragon Medical One) is especially helpful here, as the server administrator may not otherwise allow the server to capture audio from a traditional microphone. This also relaxes the internet speed requirements, as high-definition audio need not be streamed to the server.

• 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.
