The differences in detail
For every practice, not only large hospitals
You sign up online and start on your own, whether you're a single doctor or a whole clinic. Above 250 reports a month, we prepare a custom quote.
You know the price up front
Start, Pro and Ultra have public prices, from €29 a month. No sales calls are needed to get going.
The final report, not just the dictated text
Pick the template, speak naturally, and Dictaris Neo places your findings in the sections of the report. You don't dictate punctuation or insert fragments with voice commands.
On Windows or Mac
The app runs natively on Windows and macOS, with any microphone. F1 starts dictation from any application, including your DICOM viewer.
When Dragon Copilot is the better fit
Dragon Copilot is designed for large organisations. It's worth evaluating if:
- you work in a country where Microsoft offers it and write reports in one of its languages;
- your hospital uses a health record integrated with Dragon Copilot, such as Epic;
- your organisation already works with Microsoft and wants the same solution for every clinician.
