Last week’s announced new version of Dragon speech recognition for physicians and medical practitioners is officially named: Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2.
Dragon Medical Practice Edition 4 is the 13th version of Dragon Medical. Free Overnight Shipping, Training, EHR Merge and Money Back Guarantee. Jul 06, 2018 Dragon 12 is out there but the 12.5 patch was released back in February and there is still no release on the scene. 12.5 fixes some major issues that made v12 crash or lock up or left some unable to finish their voice training. Bit Torrent search engine, with an awesome P2P community sharing comments and ratings in discovering new media.
Unfortunately, as with the previous release (Dragon® Medical Practice Edition), this has caused confusion for some individuals.
Please find following some information that will clarify product names and version numbers.
Nonmedical Dragon NaturallySpeaking
The nonmedical Dragon NaturallySpeaking product include:
Dragon NaturallySpeaking Legal
Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional
Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium
The only difference between Dragon NaturallySpeaking Legal and Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional is the legal vocabulary. The difference between Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional and Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium relates to specific features.
The above nonmedical editions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking have been named as above for numerous versions.
The current version of the nonmedical editions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking is 12.
Prior to, and including Dragon® Medical 10, the only difference between the medical edition and professional edition was the medical vocabulary and a few medical related features.
Moreover, all Dragon products (medical and nonmedical) were released at approximately the same time.
This all changed with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 & Dragon® Medical Practice Edition
For one year, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 and Dragon® Medical 10 were available in tandem.
One year after the release of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11, Dragon® Medical Practice Edition (without a version number) was released. While many were expecting Dragon® Medical 11, Nuance changed the name at this juncture to Dragon® Medical Practice Edition.
Dragon® Medical Practice Edition was based on the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 core.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 & Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2
Approximately one year after the release of Dragon® Medical Practice Edition, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 was released.
For almost one year Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 and Dragon® Medical Practice Edition were available in tandem.
The trend continued, and approximately one year after the release of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12, the next version of the medical Dragon product was released and named Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2 (now with a version number).
Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2 is based on the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 core.
Hopefully this has not induced migraines among our readers.

At long last, Speakeasy Solutions is pleased to announce the arrival of Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2.3. This patch provides complete support for the Windows 10 Operating System, as well as Microsoft Office 2016.
Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2.2 was previously mostly compatible with Windows 10, but everyone who holds a license for Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2.X is encouraged to install the patch. Please read below for further details and the important steps for applying this patch, available for free to those who hold a Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2 license.
As an aside, with the release of this patch, it is highly unlikely that Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 3 is anywhere on the horizon at this point in time. For those of you who have been holding off purchasing Dragon® Medical Practice Edition due to wishing version 3, please be advised that the next version is seemingly quite distant in the future. As a reminder, the Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 3 that is available in Europe differs from the currently available version of Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2 in North America.
Availability
Version 2.3 is available only as a service pack update and is downloaded from the Dragon Software Manager, accessible through the DragonBar as well as your computer’s Task Bar. If you are a client of Speakeasy Solutions, we are more than happy to assist you in downloading the patch from our website if you encounter difficulties with the Dragon Software Manager.
2.3 is available to those who are currently running Dragon® Medical Practice Edition version 2.2.
If you possess an earlier version of Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2, you will need to apply the update to version 2.2 first (same process is outlined below), and then you will have version 2.3 available to you.
If you have a license for Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 1 or Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical version 10, an upgrade is available (for an upgrade fee) to Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2. Contact Speakeasy Solutions for this upgrade order purchase online.

Once complete, click Finish on the Software Manager.
Double check that Dragon® Medical Practice Edition 2 is closed, and then double click on the patch.
The 12.5 upgrade will commence.
When prompted, click Update on the Dragon® Medical Practice Edition InstallShield Wizard.
