Does DictaFlow work with Epic and Cerner on Windows?

Yes. DictaFlow types directly into Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and virtually any EHR on Windows — including when accessed via Citrix or Remote Desktop. It uses keystroke simulation so no clipboard or audio redirection is needed.

How does DictaFlow compare to Dragon Medical One for Windows?

Dragon Medical One costs $99/month per provider and requires significant IT setup. DictaFlow costs $7/month, installs in minutes from the Microsoft Store, requires no training, and handles everyday clinical notes just as accurately for most providers.

Is medical dictation software on Windows HIPAA-compliant?

DictaFlow processes speech locally on your Windows PC using on-device AI — your audio and transcribed text never leave your machine. There is no cloud upload of patient data, making it suitable for HIPAA-sensitive clinical environments.

Dragon Medical One is overkill for most doctors

$99/month per provider adds up fast

A 10-provider practice pays nearly $12,000 a year just for dictation. Most of that cost goes toward enterprise features the average clinician never uses.

Requires IT setup and admin rights

Dragon Medical One demands deep IT involvement, server configuration, and often doesn't play nicely with Citrix or VDI without expensive add-ons.

Windows Voice Typing isn't EHR-ready

The built-in Windows Voice Typing tool lacks medical vocabulary, Hold-to-Talk control, and Citrix compatibility — leaving clinicians frustrated mid-note.

The DictaFlow Difference

✓ AI accuracy without the price tag — Powered by on-device Whisper AI, trained on clinical vocabulary.
✓ Works in any EHR — Types directly into Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and any text field on Windows.
✓ Citrix-native — Uses keystroke simulation so audio redirection is never required.
✓ No training, no IT ticket — Install from the Microsoft Store in under a minute.

How it works in 3 steps

No setup wizard. No voice profile training. Just open your EHR and start dictating.

01. Press & hold hotkey

Hold your configured hotkey (default: right-side Ctrl) to activate the microphone. A subtle indicator confirms you're recording — no click-throughs needed.

02. Speak your note

Dictate naturally — clinical terms, drug names, dosages. On-device Whisper AI transcribes in real time with accuracy tuned for medical vocabulary.

03. Text types into Epic/Cerner

Release the key. DictaFlow injects the transcribed text directly into whichever field is active — Epic, Cerner, Meditech, or any other EHR window, including Citrix sessions.
