The following are minimum equipment and operating system requirements.  Because equipment and software continually advance, NextGen Mobile Solutions must also change the minimum requirements from time to time.

For the best dictation experience, we suggest a device on OS 10 & above

Due to the high number of Android devices we are unable to test on all of them. We choose the most popular Android devices in the US and ensure a great experience on those. Running the Nextgen Mobile app on an Android device not listed above may result in issues.
