Perfekt
Ersetzt ein Hardware-Micro und erlaubt die Aufnahmesteuerung auf dem PC vom Handy aus. Die App fungiert als Micro, die Spracherkennung geschieht in der Cloud, der Text erscheint auf dem PC. Was will man mehr? 👏🏻
Won’t Run on New 2026 Mac Neo
I tried to use this on a BRAND NEW Mac Neo. It won’t run because it says my Neo is “Jail Broken”.
Needs an apple watch app
Please provide an apple watch app. Will make it very convenient to use. At least for the dragon part.
frustrated with it more and more
I used to love this app, but now it has become my enemy. It requires me to tie up two devices and to continually remove my hands from the keyboard to use my phone controls for dictation, and my hands on the keyboard and mouse or touchpad to really work with the document and edit things. and because my work phone on which the software is installed has a one minute lockout, I spend way too much time entering logins and password passwords and various biometric identities and not enough time actually dictating or typing. I am much happier with the high-quality microphone that I can attach to my computer, aim in my direction, and that does not tie up anything else and allows me to use my phone for music while I am dictating and I'm a lot faster when I can keep my hands on the keyboard and not going back-and-forth to the phone. I wouldn't mind if nuance were not simultaneously deprecating support for external microphones and power mics.
Add feature please
Why I do not have the option to prevent IOS from timing out / locking the phone when this is open. Even when the mic is not listening. If I am working on something and leave the mic in not listening mode, the phone timeout, go to sleep, and lock. It is bothersome to unlock the phone reconnect and turn mic on then dictate. Please add this feature. Thanks
Nearly Useless App
The dragon component isn’t the worst, however, the speech recognition is substantially worse than the Power Mics. DAX Copilot is an absolute joke. The app crashes & closes out during visits that are as short as 10 minutes. The app records a portion, but then will not create a transcription because it cannot “upload”. Internet connection is working great, so that doesn’t explain the issue. Although DAX is helpful for writing passable notes, I strongly recommend against relying on this app. It will fail you time and again.
Faster and improved
10/2023 update has significantly improved start up time and transcription seems faster and more accurate. There have been a lot of issues with sign-on / connection this first week, but when it is working this has been a significant upgrade. Would like to have ability to have connections not time out quite so fast, or adjust time before microphone goes to sleep
Voice recognition
The app seems to work well. I haven’t had issues with crashes as others have. However, the voice recognition has gotten really bad. Whether I use the app or the handheld remote, it never gets the first few words of the sentence right. It has a lot of trouble with small words and dictates words I don’t say. Dictation software isn’t particularly useful if the fidelity is so low. Creates a lot of extra work just to make it intelligible.
It’s Okay and Suugestion
Disconnects frequently but could be internet connectivity issue. Maybe add option for app to connect via Bluetooth to device like a laptop. Also an Apple Watch app would be useful for those of us that only use to dictate.
Crashes and doesn’t sync
This is a terrible app with unreliable paring and efficacy. The time it takes to troubleshoot makes it worthless as a time saving tool
WatchOS app
I would like to see a watchOS app to allow dictation using Apple Watch without holding your phone.
Buggy
Buggy, inconsistent, frequently fails to record
Need external microphone support
External microphone connected to the lightning port on iphone does not work with this app. Hopefully the future updates will change that.
Pure Rubbish!
The latest update is even worse, rubbish than prior. Constantly disconnects, even in the middle of dictation and will not stay open and pretty much waste my time trying to use it.
Okay but doesn't work often
The app is useful but clearly there are tons of issues with the system as it crashes all the time or doesn't connect to the dragon service as it should. If they fixed these things it would be perfect.
The mobile app will not pair
Since the update, I’ve had nothing but problems attempting to pair this mobile app with my computer! This causes a lot of delays in my day and frustration.
Terrible
Terrible app. Crashes often. Going to be canceling subscription.
Needs a home screen widget
See title. Widget to minimize swipes and finger taps would be great.
Crashing
App crashes virtually every patient encounter. Barely usable and incredibly frustrating
Frequent disconnects
Very disappointed with this app. I’m reverting to handheld dedicated microphones at the workstations that have them.
Crashes too often please fix!
I used it for the first time last night and the app crashed one out of every 4 patients. It crashed during my most complex patient encounters. This app is so cool and awesome when it works but if it’s this unreliable, it’s adding to my work because now I can’t trust it and still have to log in and take notes. Please please please fix. It’s hard enough to be a primary care doctor, and it’s so exciting to have some technology that helps but it needs to be reliable or else it just adds to my stress and burnout. Please put resources to fixing this immediately. I don’t have and iPhone so I use. My iPad, and I hear it’s more reliable on the iPhone but I have not choice to use my iPad so fix fix fix asap please!
Seit dem Update 2022.1 schlechte Konnektivität
War vorher tadellos. Schade. Hoffe, dass das schnell behoben wird….
Always crashing
this app is always crashing, does not work when I need it to the most, especially when I’m seeing patients. Will lag for sometime and when I click the record button, it will sometimes not record or record but when I click it to stop, it won’t stop recording. They seriously need to revamp this app or something because it is not it. Sure, it’s cool having the AI help you with charting and recording patient encounters, but what’s the point if I can’t even access it frequently.
Can’t use powermic on Mac
There seems to be no way to use a powermic on a Mac when running a Remote Desktop for Epic access. Using the powermic mobile app kind of works but is slow, glitchy, and the dictation is much better with a powermic. It is too bad the app doesn’t function well and there is no workaround for use on a Mac.
Useless now
Used to be a functional app. Not good, but at least adequate. Now it crashes mid recording or fails to log in at all 90% of the time. I’ve gone back to just typing my own notes because this app is too unreliable to waste time with.
