These products are currently available and have been commercially offered for many years, with version 16 optimized for Windows 11.
The Dragon Professional product line uses deep learning-based speech recognition tuned to industry-specific vocabularies (legal, medical, law enforcement). Users speak naturally and the AI transcribes speech into text directly within applications such as Microsoft Office and EHR systems. Both on-premise (individual/group) and cloud-hosted subscription versions (Dragon Professional Anywhere, Dragon Legal Anywhere) are available. No voice profile training is required for the cloud versions.
Nuance deployed Dragon Copilot (formerly DAX Copilot), an AI clinical assistant that listens to doctor-patient conversations and automatically drafts clinical notes for physician review, integrating directly into electronic health records such as Epic. The product became generally available in early 2024 and expanded to nurses and radiologists by 2025.
Dragon Copilot uses ambient AI and large language models (including OpenAI's GPT-4 via Azure OpenAI Service) to capture multi-party clinical conversations and convert them into specialty-specific structured clinical notes. Physicians review and approve the draft before it is transferred to the EHR. As of late 2025, the product supports physicians, nurses, and radiologists, and is generally available in the US, Canada, the UK, and select European countries.

Dragon Medical One uses AI and machine learning trained on medical terminology to enable clinicians to dictate directly into EHRs without local profile training. It operates as a cloud service hosted on Microsoft Azure, allowing clinicians to access their profile from any device. It serves as the dictation foundation for the broader Dragon Copilot product. Dragon Medical One is sold on a per-user subscription basis through authorized resellers.
