About the Nuance PowerMic Microphone
Dragon Runtimehas built-in support for the Nuance PowerMic microphone.
Features |
The Nuance PowerMic puts useful Dragon commands, shortcuts, and keyboard controls at your fingertips while you dictate. Having these features integrated into the microphone makes it easier to navigate through fields in a document, or to switch between multiple windows and applications where you need to insert dictated text. For detailed information on the PowerMic buttons and functionality, see Options dialog box—PowerMic tab. |
Installation |
Dragon automatically installs the PowerMic device drivers when you install Dragon. Just launch Dragon and plug the PowerMic into one of your computer's USB ports. Dragon will allow you to add it as a dictation source for a new or existing user profile. |

Customizing the PowerMic's buttons |
You can customize PowerMic buttons to have them execute Dragon commands when pressed, or to better support your work flow. To do this, go to the DragonBar and select Tools > Options and click on the PowerMic tab. In addition to customizing the global functionality of the buttons, you can enter different settings just to use with the Dictation Box. Custom PowerMic settings are linked to your user profile. Different profiles that share the device can each have their own customizations. Note: You will only see the PowerMic tab when the device is plugged in and your user profile is set up to use it as a dictation source. For detailed information on the PowerMic buttons and how to customize them, see Options dialog box—PowerMic tab. |
