About Dictadoc
Dictadoc is a French-language medical dictation program for Mac and Windows that works fully offline. You press a key to start dictating, and the text is written wherever your cursor is, so it can be used inside the practice software you already have. The site presents it as a way to save time on writing reports and as an alternative to Dragon Medical.
The product includes voice commands, live text, an editor and a floating panel. The site lists compatibility with Doctolib, Médecin, Weda and Orbis (Agfa), and has pages for dozens of medical specialties, from surgeons and cardiologists to physiotherapists, midwives, dentists and veterinarians. The interface is offered in French, English, German, Italian and Spanish.
For clinics and hospitals there is a Dictadoc Server option that provides dictation on each workstation from a server in your own premises, with installation guides for Windows, macOS or Docker. Pricing for establishments is listed from 490 euros excluding VAT per year, for 5 to 50 workstations.
