Frequently asked questions
Everything physicians and IT teams ask before switching. Straight answers.
What is VoiceboxMD and how does the medical dictation software work?
VoiceboxMD is an advanced cloud-based medical dictation software designed to convert physician speech into text in real time, using a proprietary medical speech recognition engine. Users can speak naturally into a microphone connected to their computer or mobile device, with transcribed text inserted at the active cursor in EHR systems such as Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and Practice Fusion. The engine adapts to individual voices, accents, and specialty terminology over time, achieving up to 99% accuracy. It also includes a Clinical Notepad for structured SOAP and H&P notes, customizable macros and templates, and synchronization between mobile and desktop platforms.
Which EHR systems does VoiceboxMD integrate with?
VoiceboxMD is EHR-agnostic. It works with any EHR that accepts keyboard input, including Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Practice Fusion, Kareo, NextGen, AdvancedMD, and DrChrono. The software uses intelligent cursor positioning to place dictated text directly into the active field without copy-paste. Cloud-based, on-premise, and Citrix-hosted environments are supported.
Does VoiceboxMD work on Mac, Windows, and mobile devices?
Yes. VoiceboxMD runs natively on Windows 10+, macOS 11+ (including Apple Silicon M1-M4 and Intel Macs), and iOS 15+. Dictate patient notes on your iPhone between exam rooms, and transcribed notes sync automatically to your Mac or PC workstation. All data is encrypted end-to-end and HIPAA-compliant across every device.
Does VoiceboxMD work in Citrix, VMware, and remote desktop environments?
Yes. VoiceboxMD works in virtualized environments including Citrix, VMware, and Windows Remote Desktop. Because it operates at the application level using intelligent cursor positioning rather than low-level OS hooks, it avoids common VDI compatibility issues. Enable Remote Desktop Mode in Preferences and dictate normally. This is ideal for hospital systems and multi-location practices using centralized desktop environments.
What microphone do I need for medical dictation?
VoiceboxMD supports built-in laptop microphones, USB headsets, and professional-grade desktop microphones. Most modern built-in microphones work well for daily clinical use. For noisy clinic environments, a USB noise-cancelling headset is recommended for best accuracy. The iOS app uses your iPhone microphone. Recommended options: https://voiceboxmd.com/supported-microphones/.
How accurate is VoiceboxMD with medical terminology and drug names?
VoiceboxMD achieves 99% transcription accuracy using a specialized vocabulary engine trained on millions of clinical records. The system recognizes 100,000+ medical terms across 100+ specialties, including drug names, ICD-10 codes, CPT codes, anatomical terms, surgical procedures, and clinical abbreviations. A self-learning AI adapts to your voice, accent, and documentation style with every session. You can also add custom terms specific to your practice.
Does VoiceboxMD work well with accents or non-native English speakers?
Yes. VoiceboxMD is designed to recognize diverse accents, speech patterns, and non-native English pronunciation. The machine-learning engine adapts to individual voice characteristics during an initial learning period, typically 1-2 weeks of regular use, and continues improving over time.
What medical specialties does VoiceboxMD support?
VoiceboxMD supports medical and dental specialties including family medicine, internal medicine, cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, psychiatry, pediatrics, OB/GYN, neurology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, ophthalmology, ENT, urgent care, emergency medicine, general dentistry, periodontics, oral surgery, and 100+ others. The AI recognizes specialty terminology out of the box, and you can add custom terms for your practice.
Does VoiceboxMD offer ambient AI scribe capabilities?
Yes. VoiceboxMD offers both traditional medical dictation and ambient AI scribe modes. The AI Scribe listens to doctor-patient conversations in person or via telehealth platforms such as Zoom, Teams, and Doxy.me, then generates structured SOAP notes with CPT and ICD-10 suggestions in about 60 seconds. The Power plan ($79/mo) includes AI Medical Scribe with audio upload, and the Premium plan ($139/mo) adds real-time ambient listening during live encounters.
How much documentation time can I realistically save each day?
Physicians using VoiceboxMD save an average of 2-3 hours per day on clinical documentation, or 500+ hours per year. By reducing after-hours charting, clinicians can lower burnout, see 2-4 additional patients daily, and recover significant annual productivity. The software pays for itself in fewer than 3 patient encounters.
How much does VoiceboxMD medical dictation cost?
Three plans are available: Essential at $49/mo (speech-to-text, 100,000+ medical terms, macros and templates, one device), Power at $79/mo (adds AI Medical Scribe, automated SOAP notes, audio upload, up to 3 devices), and Premium at $139/mo (adds ambient AI listening, doctor-patient interaction comprehension, superbill creation, and an enhanced dashboard).

Is VoiceboxMD HIPAA-compliant and secure?
Yes. VoiceboxMD is HIPAA-compliant across desktop, mobile, and web. Voice data and transcribed text are encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256.

A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is included with every subscription at no additional cost, and role-based access controls restrict PHI access to authorized users.
Is my patient audio used to train VoiceboxMD's AI models?
