For clinics comparing Epic dictation software, DictaFlow Medical Pro supports controlled hold-to-talk text entry in Epic Hyperspace, including many Citrix and remote Windows setups. Larger health systems that need deep enterprise commands and an established Nuance rollout may prefer Dragon Medical One. Test either option in the exact managed environment before rollout.
Built for Windows 10 and 11 with Citrix Workspace, VMware Horizon, and Remote Desktop. Test it in your clinic’s managed environment before rolling it out.
Most hospitals disable "Clipboard Redirection" for security. This breaks cloud dictation tools that try to paste text.
DictaFlow enters text as simulated keystrokes instead of using clipboard paste. This can work in Citrix environments where clipboard redirection is blocked. Clinics should test their exact managed setup before rollout.
DictaFlow Medical offers hold-to-talk dictation through its reviewed Medical configuration. The clinician starts recording when ready, then reviews the transcription before adding it to the chart.
Typing Mode sends text as keystrokes to the active Epic Hyperspace field instead of pasting it from the clipboard. It also works in many Citrix Workspace and VMware Horizon sessions.
Direct field typing doesn't need an Epic plugin or HL7 interface. Managed devices and hospital networks may still need IT approval, a vendor review, and testing under local security policies.
