Nuance

Nuance is the speech recognition and conversational AI company now owned by Microsoft, and its public website today leads with two lines of business: Dragon productivity software and AI powered healthcare solutions. Dragon converts speech to text for document creation, dictates into applications, and automates repetitive steps with custom voice commands and macros. The healthcare line, marketed through Microsoft, includes Dragon Medical One for clinical documentation, Dragon Copilot for streamlining documentation and automating tasks for clinical teams, and PowerMic Mobile, which turns a smartphone into a secure wireless microphone for the EHR. It serves individual professionals and enterprises in document intensive sectors such as financial services, legal, education, law enforcement and social services, plus physicians and radiologists. Current Dragon products are Dragon Professional v16 for Windows 11 and Windows 10, Dragon Legal, Dragon Law Enforcement, the cloud hosted Dragon Professional Anywhere and Dragon Legal Anywhere, and the Dragon Anywhere Mobile app for iOS and Android in the US and Canada. The desktop engine uses Nuance deep learning technology and supports both live dictation and transcription of recorded audio, while the cloud editions need no voice profile training and update automatically. Dragon Professional Anywhere supports HIPAA requirements for security and confidentiality. Pricing is not published on the product pages. Desktop editions are sold through the Nuance online store and resellers, cloud and healthcare products are quoted through sales, and Dragon Professional Anywhere is described as subscription based with little up front investment. Nuance.com now redirects to dragon.nuance.com, and the healthcare pages redirect to Microsoft's health solutions site, reflecting Microsoft's ownership of the company.
