Hello, my name is Chris John. I'm a family medicine resident at the University of Toronto. I've been using Dictation Daddy for approximately a year now. I much prefer it to the previous product I was using, which was Dragon.
I use it mainly for making notes, administrative tasks, writing emails and so on. I find the product to be quite accurate and also very flexible. It's a great product that I highly recommend, and I committed to a five year plan for a reason.
“I have tried every dictation product, and yours is the best.”

First of all, I want to say congratulations. You have a great product. I don't know if you had a chance to look at my resume, but I worked in IT for many years, so I know these things are very difficult.
I have been using dictation probably before you were born. I am an old man, and I have tried every one, and yours is the best. Period.
My dictations are a little complicated. I mean, drugs, conditions. I don't speak that clearly. I am 72, so maybe I am not forceful enough. But it works.
I have showed it to many of my patients. I am a psychiatrist, but I have a lot of engineers in my practice. Not exactly sure why, but they seem to come. Maybe 25 percent of my patients are engineers, all kinds.
Enterprise dictation
stops at the hospital door.
The best imaging viewers run on Mac, but Dragon does not. So to dictate next to your studies you end up paying for Parallels plus a Dragon license, often 2,500 to 3,000 dollars a year. A hospital absorbs that. Reading from home, moonlighting, or doing teleradiology, you pay it out of pocket, and you still face months of voice training.
Built-in Mac and Windows dictation is no answer either. It does not know radiology vocabulary, so you proof more than you saved. And push-to-talk fights you for the hand you need on the images.
Dictation Daddy gives you accurate radiology dictation on your own machine, hands free, into whatever tool you report in, for 99 dollars a year.
What radiologists need
Keep both hands on the imaging
Toggle dictation on and it stays on, no matter where your cursor is or which window has focus. Your mouse stays on the images, your voice fills the report, and the two never fight for the same hand.
Read on the Mac viewer you want
Dragon does not run on Mac, so radiologists have had to choose between the viewer they want and having dictation at all. Dictation Daddy has a native Mac app, same accuracy as Windows, no Parallels required.
Imaging terms recognized correctly
Ground-glass opacity, lymphadenopathy, hepatic steatosis, spiculated nodule, and hundreds more are recognized immediately, no training. Add subspecialty terms, named protocols, and referrer names to your custom list.
Dictate into your RIS, template, or AI
Press one key and dictate into whatever has your cursor: a PowerScribe field, a RIS template, a PACS web viewer, Word, or an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude. Speaking your findings gives the model far more to work with than typed bullet points.
What radiologists tell us
"I need to keep my mouse working on dictation and my hands working on the images and keep them separate. That is the key. Yours was really the only one that came up in that category."
Freelance radiologist
Mac user, reads from home on a teleradiology platform
"A full body report used to take me five to ten minutes. Now it takes me about three and a half minutes and it is in perfect grammar, no spelling mistakes. I can pay the subscription off within the first scan of the day."

Dictation Daddy vs PowerScribe and Dragon
You are reading this on our own website, so we are biased. Here is an honest side-by-side for the individual radiologist.
| Feature | PowerScribe / Dragon | Dictation Daddy |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Thousands per seat. On a Mac, add Parallels plus a Dragon license, often 2,500 to 3,000 dollars a year | 99 dollars per year, often paid off in the first study of the day |
| Mac support | Windows only, so the best Mac imaging viewers have no dictation | Native Mac app, no Parallels, no Windows VM |
| Hands on the images | Dictation tied to the report window and cursor focus | Toggle dictation on and keep both hands on the imaging |
| Reading from home | Requires a VPN into the hospital install | Works on your own machine, anywhere you read |
| Voice training | Months of corrections to reach full accuracy | None, 96 to 98 percent from the first study |
PowerScribe is a Microsoft (Nuance) enterprise product and is the right tool inside an integrated PACS. Dragon Medical pricing per Nuance published documentation. Dictation Daddy accuracy reflects benchmark performance of Whisper and Soniox transcription models.
Common questions from radiologists
Does it work on Mac?+
Yes, with a native Mac app. The best DICOM viewers run on Mac, but Dragon does not, so radiologists reading from a personal machine have had to choose between the viewer they want and having dictation. Dictation Daddy removes that tradeoff, with no Parallels and no Windows VM required.
How does it compare to Dragon Medical on cost?+
Dragon runs only on Windows and needs months of voice training, and on a Mac you also have to run Parallels plus a Dragon license, which often adds up to 2,500 to 3,000 dollars a year. Dictation Daddy costs 99 dollars per year, works at 96 to 98 percent accuracy immediately, and runs natively on Mac and Windows.
Can I keep my hands on the images while I dictate?+
Yes, and this is the point. Toggle dictation on and it stays on regardless of where your cursor is or which window has focus. Your mouse and hands stay on the imaging while your voice fills in the report, so the two never compete for the same hand.
Can I use my own dictation microphone?+
Yes. Dictation Daddy records from whatever microphone your computer is set to, so any external or USB mic works, including handheld dictation microphones like the Philips SpeechMike and Nuance PowerMic, a headset, or your laptop's built-in mic. There are no special drivers to install. Pick your mic in your system sound settings and dictate.
Is patient information kept confidential?+
Dictation Daddy does not store any audio recordings. Your voice is transcribed and the audio is discarded immediately. HIPAA compliance and BAA agreements are available for Enterprise customers on request.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes, 7 days with no credit card required. Test it with your actual reading list and reporting vocabulary before committing.
