The answer to this question is yes and no but lets start off with defining the differences between DNS Pro and DNS Preferred:
DNS Pro includes all the capabilities of Preferred and adds network support, Citrix support, an industrial-strength Vocabulary Builder, multiple vocabulary capabilities and most importantly; the ability to create advanced scripting commands.
The only difference between
DNS Pro and DNS Medical is the medical vocabulary.
When you add
KnowBrainer 2006 to DNS Preferred you not only add the ability to create advanced scripting commands (similar to the professional versions of NaturallySpeaking) but you also receive 11,000 pre-fab commands so in some ways, adding KnowBrainer to Preferred is equivalent to DNS Pro on steroids. If you additionally add the KnowBrainer
specialty medical vocabularies you can turn DNS Preferred into pseudo-DNS Medical on steroids. This could save you a good deal of money since Nuance raised the price on Medical 9 an additional $400 on November 1. However, if you do decide to go this route, we additionally recommend upgrading your current copy of DNS Preferred to
Preferred 9.5 because if your serious about your job, you don't want to use out-of-date software. In the end you could buy DNS Medical for $1399.00 or Pro with medical vocabularies for $1018 or Preferred with KB 2006 and medical vocabularies for $ 663.00.
So yes you can certainly increase your accuracy and productivity but no you don't have to pay the insane price for DNS Medical 9.5.
