Dragon
What happened to Dragon on the Mac?
Nuance discontinued Dragon Professional Individual for Mac on 22 October 2018.
No sales, no updates after that (Nuance support page, read 2026-10-15). Lesskeys is a general speech tool, not a certified medical-vocabulary replacement.

Questions
Questions about Lesskeys for doctors
Does Lesskeys replace Dragon Medical?
No. Lesskeys is a general-purpose speech tool: it writes what you say into any field you can paste into. It is not a medical-vocabulary product, so review the output before it enters a patient record.
Does Lesskeys make a claim about patient privacy rules?
No. The audio is turned into text on your computer and is not uploaded, but Lesskeys makes no claim about the privacy rules that apply to your practice. You or your practice are responsible for them; ask whoever advises you.
Can I dictate a letter in my patient's language?
Yes, among the 99 languages Lesskeys detects. Pin the languages you use most, up to four, and check the result: names and medical terms can come out wrong in any language.
