Healthcare dictation software for clinicians and therapists
who need private, on-device notes.
Voice-to-text designed for healthcare providers. On-device AI with 74,000+ medical terms. No cloud uploads. No PHI exposure. Session notes in seconds.
Cloud transcription has a privacy problem
Every word you dictate is uploaded to third-party servers. For healthcare providers, that's a potential privacy violation. VoicePrivate — Healthcare Edition changes that.
The Privacy Problem
- PHI on third-party servers
- BAA requirements and breach risk
- Patient audio accessible via subpoena
- Potential privacy violations ($50K+ per incident)
- Session recordings exposed to data breaches

Common questions
How much does medical dictation software cost?
Dragon Medical One costs approximately $99 per provider per month, subscription only. Ambient AI scribes like Suki run higher. VoicePrivate Healthcare Edition starts at $34.99 per month with fully on-device processing. See our Dragon Medical One cost breakdown for the full comparison.
Do I need a BAA to use dictation software?
Cloud dictation tools process patient audio on their servers, so they require a Business Associate Agreement. VoicePrivate processes all audio entirely on your device: no patient audio or transcription text is transmitted to any server, so you are not relying on a third-party BAA to protect patient data. Consult your compliance team to confirm fit for your specific workflow.
What is the best Dragon Medical One alternative for Mac?
VoicePrivate Healthcare Edition is built natively for macOS with 74,000+ medical terms and on-device processing, and also runs on Windows. See the head-to-head in Dragon Medical One vs VoicePrivate.
Does it work offline in clinics with restricted networks?
Yes. All transcription runs locally on your device, so VoicePrivate works with no internet connection at all, including in facilities where connectivity is restricted or prohibited.
