What is the optimum hardware for Dragon Medical 11? Does it take advantage of quad core processors?

Thanks!

Mike, in your Member Profile page, you do not indicate, if you are utilising Dragon or not. In the course of the past seven days or so, I have read on this forum; two doctors have had so many problems with DMPE that they have reverted back to using Dragon Medical 10. One is a pretty prolific contributor, who utilises the sobriquet: MDH.

The standard sagacious counsel given on this particular forum with respect to hardware is: the faster the better depending on budgetary constraints. In NaturallySpeaking Quick Tips, found at the top of the forum webpage, you find the standard guidance given by Lunis/KnowBrainer on the matter.

Based on my own experience as a hard-core user of Dragon Premium, I think you will have a better experience with Dragon: if you get a nice quad core i7 with as an absolute minimum 8 GB of RAM. If you are proposing to use Dragon for the first time, can I emphasise the absolute necessity of getting a microphone and soundcard that is optimised for speech recognition, all of which can be purchased from the KnowBrainer store.

You'll find all of our computer recommendations when you look up “computer” in the NaturallySpeaking Quick Tips (at the top of this page) but we generally recommend 8 Gb of RAM, i7 quad core because Dragon Ver. 11 Best Match IV uses 2 cores and it's nice to have a couple of cores left over for other applications. Besides, the price difference is all but negligible.
