This page is dedicated to the installation process for the new Dragon Medical One.
Looking for the mobile phone app?
We offer a risk-free trial (no credit card required), and complimentary demonstration, so you can see for yourself how Dragon really does live up to the hype.
The installation method will depend heavily on your environment. If you are in a complex environment; use virtualization; connect to remote servers; or just aren't sure which installation process to follow, please give us a call. We offer complimentary installation assistance to each of our customers.
Dragon must be installed on Windows. If you are on a Mac, you will need to install Windows Parallels. Configuring Parallels is outside the scope of our work, but you can start a 14-day trial with the button below.
Working with a web-based EHR/EMR or want to dictate into websites like Gmail? You'll need these.
In order to unlock the full power of Dragon with websites and web-based applications, you must use the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browsers along with the extensions for Dragon. The extensions allow your dictation to go directly into the browser-based application and use of commands such as "select <text>" and "scratch that".
The first time Dragon runs after installing the extensions, you will need to close and restart all instances of your browsers for it to work properly. If text isn't going into the sites as expected, try restarting your computer. If you still encounter issues, give us a call at 833-341-1411.

This section is meant for IT administrators deploying to large environments; virtualized environments; remote servers; mixed local / remote environments; or users with specific EHR/EMR incompatibilities.
We intentionally delay updating our "latest" standalone deployment packages to ensure stability. As such, they are frequently behind the actual latest release.
Dragon requires .NET Framework 4.8 or higher. Microsoft Edge WebView 2 is also required for some context menus to operate properly.
You may place the extracted files anywhere on the target machine, however, we recommend using
C:\Program Files\Nuance\Dragon Medical One\{version}\. The main executable is SoD.exe.
Please create a shortcut to SoD.exe for your user and name the shortcut to Dragon Medical One. Do not
rename the actual executable or the software will fail to launch.

BitGApps is a customized, lightweight Google Apps (GApps) package designed for Android devices running custom operating systems like LineageOS, crDroid, or Pixel Experience. A custom ROM is a third-party, aftermarket firmware that replaces the original operating system on your device, often providing a cleaner, more up-to-date Android experience. However, due to licensing issues, these ROMs generally do not include Google's proprietary apps and services, which is where GApps packages like BitGApps come in. Using such a package is necessary because distributing Google's copyrighted software with a custom ROM is legally problematic for developers, so they leave it out and let users install it themselves.
