Dragon® Medical One (DMO) For Mac

​

​

Q: Does Dragon® Medical One (DMO) Support Mac?

 

A: Yes and No (But Mostly Yes)

 

Officially Dragon® Medical One (DMO) currently only supports windows, however, there are ways to run it on a Mac. Don't worry, we will tell you how......

 

Essentially the only way to run DMO on Mac is to run Windows on your Mac computer or to run a virtualized version of Windows on your Mac computer.

 

You've got options:

 

Option 1: Use products such as "Parallels Desktop" or "VMware Fusion" to run a virtualized version of Windows on your Mac computer.

 

Pros:

• Versatility: Runs in a virtualized environment (a window on your Mac) and you can easily switch back and forth between using Windows/DMO and Mac

• Simplicity: Easy to setup

• Support: Product support available from solution manufacturer (Parallels or VMware)

 

Cons:

 

• Cost: These applications cost money to buy ("Parallels Desktop" and and "VMware Fusion" both have versions that start at $79.99 (Note: with either solution you may have to buy a Windows license if you do not already have one.)

 

Resources:

• Parallels https://www.parallels.com/

• VMWare Fusion - https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion.html

 

Option 2: Use "Apple Boot Camp" (for Intel-based Macs) to boot into Windows.

 

Pros:

• Free: Apple does not charge for "Apple Boot Camp" (Note: you may still have to buy a Windows license if you do not have one)

 

Cons:

• No switching: Must boot into either Mac or Windows (switching between the two involves a reboot)

• Requirements: Must have an Intel-based Mac (not an older ARM based processor)

• Complexity: More complex setup required

 

Resources:

• Apple Boot Camp - https://support.apple.com/boot-camp

• Boot Camp Instructions - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468

• Digital Trends Guide - https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-install-windows-on-a-mac/

 

Rest assured that since DMO runs mostly on 'the cloud' the speed and operation of DMO will be almost identical to running it natively on a Windows computer.

 

Once you have Windows running on your Mac we can help you install and configure your Dragon® Medical One software at no extra charge (all setup and training is included in with your implementation fee).
