VoiceboxMD is medical dictation software for Mac purpose-built for physicians. It uses a medical speech model with custom vocabulary, works natively on macOS 12 or later (both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs), integrates with all EHR systems on Mac including Epic, Athena Health, and Practice Fusion, and is fully HIPAA-compliant with BAA included. Plans start at $49/month with no contracts and a free trial.

Yes. VoiceboxMD runs natively on all Apple Silicon Macs, M1, M2, M3, and M4 chips, as well as Intel-based Macs. The software requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later and an internet connection. It's lightweight and cloud-based, so it runs efficiently without slowing down your Mac or competing with your EHR for system resources.

Yes. VoiceboxMD is EHR-agnostic and works with every EHR system accessible on Mac: Epic, Athena Health, Practice Fusion, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, Kareo, NextGen, Allscripts, and more. It uses intelligent cursor positioning to transcribe directly into any text field, progress notes, H&P, discharge summaries, Epic MyChart messages, any field that accepts text. No IT department involvement or marketplace installation required.

Yes. VoiceboxMD is fully HIPAA-compliant with enterprise-grade security on all platforms including Mac. All voice data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Audio is deleted automatically within 7 days. Business Associate Agreements (BAA) are included for every subscriber at no additional cost. Your patients' protected health information is secured at every step.

Apple's built-in dictation was designed for consumer use, emails, texts, and casual notes. It lacks a medical vocabulary, consistently misspells drug names and clinical terminology, is not HIPAA-compliant (audio is processed on Apple servers without BAA), and cannot format clinical note structures like SOAP notes. VoiceboxMD's medical dictation software for Mac uses a medical speech model with custom vocabulary, is fully HIPAA-compliant, and automatically formats clinical documentation for your workflow.

VoiceboxMD publishes its price: plans start at $49/month ($588/year). Microsoft does not publish Dragon prices; Dragon is sold through Microsoft and its resellers. VoiceboxMD includes iPhone-to-Mac sync, the AI Medical Scribe for automated SOAP notes on every plan (Microsoft's ambient scribe is Dragon Copilot, licensed separately), and HIPAA compliance with a BAA at no additional cost. Setup takes 3 minutes on Mac. No annual contract required, cancel anytime.

Yes. VoiceboxMD includes a dedicated iOS app that syncs seamlessly with your Mac. Dictate patient notes on your iPhone walking between exam rooms, during rounds, or on house calls. By the time you sit down at your Mac, the transcribed and AI-formatted notes are waiting, ready to review and paste into your EHR in one click. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Yes. VoiceboxMD on Mac includes custom templates, phrases, and voice-activated macros so clinicians can instantly insert common note structures, review-of-systems text, and counseling language with a few spoken commands. You can add practice-specific terminology, clinic names, referring physician names, and frequently used phrases to your personal medical vocabulary, all of which sync across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

VoiceboxMD is lightweight and cloud-based. It requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, works on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs, needs 4 GB RAM minimum, a microphone (built-in or external), and an internet connection. The application uses minimal system resources and runs alongside your EHR without performance issues.

Yes. VoiceboxMD's cloud-based medical dictation platform scales from solo clinicians to multi-provider group practices. Flexible deployment, simple onboarding (no IT required), and cross-device access (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and web) make it easy to standardize medical dictation across distributed teams. It works for in-office documentation and for charting from home. The ambient scribe records through your microphone, so it does not capture call audio from video visits.
