Best Microphone for Dragon Speech Recognition
Using a high-quality microphone is essential to unlocking Dragon’s full accuracy potential. Low-grade or built-in mics can result in background noise interference, misrecognitions, and wasted time correcting errors—especially in busy clinical environments.
The Philips SpeechMike Premium (LFH3700) is widely considered the best microphone for Dragon. It features a free-floating studio-quality mic for noise isolation, antimicrobial housing, ergonomic push-to-talk control, and seamless USB plug-and-play integration—making it a favourite among Australian healthcare professionals.
Your Path to DAX Copilot
Dragon Medical One is your foundation for future-ready clinical documentation. As part of Nuance’s ambient suite, it's the first step toward unlocking AI-powered tools like DAX Copilot—a next-generation solution for real-time medical note automation.

Medical Speech Recognition — Anytime, Anywhere
Designed for flexibility, speed and accuracy, Dragon Medical One Essentials provides clinicians with cloud-based medical speech recognition that works across any Windows device. Enjoy portable, personalised profiles that travel with you between practice, home and hospital — no setup required.
Australian-Hosted, Secure & Compliant
Dragon Medical One Essentials is hosted in Australian Microsoft Azure data centres that are HITRUST CSF certified and feature 99.5% uptime. End-to-end encryption ensures compliance with HIPAA standards for confidentiality and data security — designed for Australian healthcare professionals.
High Accuracy — Powered by Nuance AI
Achieve up to 99% accuracy with no training required. The system automatically calibrates for accent, microphone and environment, delivering faster and more reliable results than previous desktop versions like Dragon Medical Practice Edition.
Effortless Deployment & Maintenance
No admin rights, no complex installs. Dragon Medical One Essentials launches in minutes and updates automatically in the background. As it’s cloud-delivered, there’s no need for expensive servers or high-spec PCs.
Cost-Effective Licensing
Essentials is a cost-friendly subscription designed for experienced users who don’t require bundled extras. Licenses are issued per user, not per device — install at the clinic, home or hospital without paying more. Monthly, quarterly and annual payment options available.
Deferred Speech Recognition Integration
Combine Dragon Medical One Essentials with SpeechLive for background speech recognition workflows. Submit dictations for transcription or correction later while keeping your audio linked to your draft text.
Analytics & Reporting (Optional Add-On)
Add Dragon Medical Analytics to monitor individual and site-wide usage metrics. Improve productivity, manage licenses more effectively and optimise documentation workflows.
Microphone Compatibility & Recommendations
Essentials works with a range of speech-optimised microphones and dictation recorders. For best results, VoiceX recommends the Philips SpeechMike Premium or Philips SpeechAir. Visit our microphone guide to choose the right device for your needs.
Optional Upgrades Available Anytime
If you require advanced features such as the PowerMic Mobile App, personalised training, or unlimited Australian-based support — these can be added at any time or you may wish to consider upgrading to Dragon Medical One +.
