Dragon Medical One costs $99/month plus a $525 setup fee — over $1,700 in year one alone. ParrotPadMD is $20/month with no setup fee, saving you 80%. Dragon requires Windows and desktop installation. We work on Mac, Windows, and Chromebook through Chrome. Both use specialized medical vocabulary models for high accuracy.
Yes. We have a signed BAA with Google Cloud Healthcare. Audio is processed in-memory and immediately discarded — never stored. Transcripts go directly to your cursor; we never see, store, or train on your PHI. SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure.
All of them. Google's Medical Dictation model is trained on medications, diagnoses, procedures, and terminology across all specialties. During onboarding, you select your specialty for additional vocabulary boosting — cardiology, orthopedics, psychiatry, radiology, and more.
No. It's a Chrome extension that installs in one click. No admin privileges, no software maintenance, no IT tickets. Perfect for independent practices or physicians frustrated with hospital IT delays.
This is a standard Chrome message for newer extensions that haven't yet built up usage history with Google's Enhanced Safe Browsing program. It's not a security warning about ParrotPadMD specifically. Our extension is HIPAA-compliant, uses encrypted connections, and never stores your audio or transcripts. Simply click "Continue to install" to proceed safely.
No. ParrotPadMD works great with your laptop's built-in microphone — no Dragon-certified hardware required. Any USB headset or Bluetooth mic will work too.
Absolutely. The free tier includes 15 minutes/month forever — enough to test it in your actual EHR workflow. No credit card required. Upgrade to Professional when you're ready for 100 minutes/month and specialty vocabulary packs.
We're Chrome-only for now due to technical requirements around audio capture and extension APIs. Safari support is on our roadmap — sign up for the free tier to be notified when it's available.
No! ParrotPadMD works in any web-based text field — email, patient portals, telemedicine platforms, and more. For applications like Google Docs where direct text insertion isn't possible, your transcription appears in our built-in notepad for easy copy/paste.
We've got you covered! Our Scratchpad web app works in any browser — Safari, Firefox, Edge, even mobile. Install it as an app on your phone or desktop, dictate your notes, and copy/paste into Word, Epic, or any application. Same voice commands and macros, no extension required.
