Epic Dictation Software

Yes. VoiceboxMD works with all current versions of Epic, including Epic Hyperspace and Hyperdrive on Mac or Windows. The desktop app pastes your dictation into the Epic text field your cursor is in: progress notes, H&Ps, discharge summaries, operative reports, Epic MyChart messages, and In Basket replies.

VoiceboxMD does not require Epic Marketplace installation, API configuration, or IT involvement. It works as a standalone application at the operating system level. Place your cursor in any Epic text field, activate VoiceboxMD, and start speaking. Compatible with Epic Ambulatory, Inpatient, Emergency Department, and all specialty modules.

VoiceboxMD publishes its price: plans start at $49/month with no annual contract and include a BAA at no additional cost. Microsoft does not publish prices for Dragon Medical One or Dragon Copilot; they are sold through Microsoft and resellers, so ask for a quote that states the contract length and BAA terms.

Additional differences: VoiceboxMD includes AI scribe capabilities on every plan from $49/month, with CPT and ICD-10 code suggestions from the Power plan; Dragon Medical One is dictation, and Microsoft's ambient scribe is Dragon Copilot, licensed separately. VoiceboxMD installs in 2 minutes with no IT involvement. VoiceboxMD includes mobile dictation with desktop sync on iPhone and Android.

Epic dictation (also called speech-to-text or voice recognition) converts your spoken words directly into text in real time. You speak, and the words appear on screen inside your Epic chart, like a digital transcriptionist. This is what VoiceboxMD's Essential plan ($49/month) provides.

An AI medical scribe goes further. It listens to the doctor-patient conversation (an ambient scribe) and writes a structured clinical note from it. VoiceboxMD includes the ambient scribe on every plan from $49/month, alongside live dictation. ICD-10 and CPT code suggestions start on the Power plan.

Both dictation and AI scribe work inside Epic. Both are on every plan, so you can use whichever fits each visit.

VoiceboxMD does not require Epic Marketplace installation, FHIR API configuration, or complex IT integration. It works as a standalone application that types into any active text field on your computer, exactly the way a keyboard does. No middleware, no plugins, no system modifications.

That said, we always recommend checking with your organization's IT and compliance teams before installing any software on managed workstations. VoiceboxMD is HIPAA compliant. A Business Associate Agreement is included on every plan at no extra cost.

Epic AI Charting (Art), launched in February 2026, is Epic's native ambient documentation tool. It listens to doctor-patient conversations and generates clinical notes within Epic. VoiceboxMD and Epic AI Charting serve overlapping but distinct use cases.

Key differences: Epic AI Charting is ambient-only, it does not offer active real-time dictation, custom voice commands, macros, or SmartPhrase-like templates. VoiceboxMD provides both real-time dictation and AI scribe capabilities. Epic AI Charting requires Epic admin setup and is only available within Epic; VoiceboxMD works across all EHR systems, so physicians who document in multiple platforms need only one tool. VoiceboxMD requires no IT involvement and can be running in 2 minutes.

VoiceboxMD is an effective standalone solution or a complement to Epic AI Charting for physicians who want active dictation control alongside ambient capabilities.

Yes. VoiceboxMD is built for healthcare. All voice data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Audio files are deleted automatically within 7 days. A Business Associate Agreement is included on every plan at no extra cost.

VoiceboxMD protects patient health information (PHI) with encryption, controlled access, and secure handling of audio and transcripts.

VoiceboxMD works in every Epic text field that accepts keyboard input. This includes but is not limited to: progress notes, history and physical (H&P) documentation, discharge summaries, operative reports, Epic MyChart patient messages, In Basket replies, referral letters, procedure notes, and clinical orders with free-text fields.

The software is compatible with Epic Ambulatory, Epic Inpatient, Epic Emergency Department (ASAP), and all specialty modules. It works in Epic Hyperspace (desktop) and Hyperdrive (web-based) on Mac or Windows. If you can type in a field, VoiceboxMD can dictate into it.

Yes. VoiceboxMD uses a medical English speech model that handles a wide range of accents. It does not train on your individual voice, so try it with your own dictation during the trial, and add any terms it misses to your custom vocabulary.

Yes. VoiceboxMD uses a medical speech model that recognizes brand and generic drug names, anatomical references, surgical procedures, clinical phrases and specialty language. If you use terms it does not recognize at first, add them to your custom vocabulary and they are recognized in future dictation.

VoiceboxMD offers three plans, all of which work with Epic EHR:

Essential, $49/month: The ambient AI scribe with no monthly note cap, plus real-time speech-to-text dictation with medical vocabulary, custom macros, templates, and voice commands.

Power, $79/month: Everything in Essential plus ICD-10 and CPT code suggestions, referral and prior-auth letters, after-visit summaries, orders checklists and pre-recorded audio upload.

Premium, $99/month: Everything in Power plus a writing style learned from your own edits.

A Business Associate Agreement is included on every plan at no extra cost. No setup fees. No annual contracts. Free trial available (7 days for monthly, 14 days for annual billing). Annual billing saves up to 8%.

Yes. VoiceboxMD offers a free trial on the plan you choose, including dictation, the ambient AI scribe, the mobile apps and customer support. Monthly plans include a 7-day trial; annual plans include a 14-day trial.

During the trial, test VoiceboxMD with your actual Epic workflow. There are no setup fees, no contracts, and you can cancel anytime with no additional charge.

Yes. Because VoiceboxMD works at the operating system level rather than inside a specific application, you can use it to dictate into any text field on your computer. This includes emails, Word documents, referral letters, administrative correspondence, insurance pre-authorizations, and documentation in other EHR systems like Cerner, Athena, or Practice Fusion.

For physicians who work across multiple platforms or need a single dictation tool for both clinical and administrative tasks, this cross-application flexibility is a significant advantage over EHR-specific tools like Epic AI Charting or DAX Copilot.
