NuancePowerMic III Microphone for Dragon, Coiled Cord (extends to 17 Ft), Dictate Documents and Control your PC – all by Voice, [PC Disc]

I purchased this powermic III to dictate notes from home. Our EMR is Epic with Dragon Medical built in. The mic functions perfectly and captures my voice accurately for dictaction. However none of the buttons are supported and have no functionality. Attempting to configure/assign buttons with Dragon via Options does not make them functional either. The "next field" "previous field" buttons are extremly helpful navigating through our note template. There is no way to force assign the buttons on the Powermic through Windows 11 either. Not having the functinality is a deal breaker for me... if I have to press F2 to navigate the required epic note fields then this Powermic is worthless. I could just use any mic I have. Secondly, windows recognizes this mic device as a "Powermic II" and NOT a "Powermic III." Someone else noted this in another review. Older reviews from 2019 show that the mic works as intened so not sure if this is a newer windows (I am using Windows 11 Pro) issue. I also do not have a physical version installed on my home work computer; just using it with Epic with Dragon via citrix receiver. Hopefully this helps someone else trying to acheive what I needed.Edit:I got the power mic buttons to function. I use Epic/dragon via citrix receiver. You need to download the citrix receiver extentions (will also give you the functionality for phillps mic too) for dragon onto your work/home computer if you are using dragon via EPIC and citrix. Works perfectly. I found them myself but you may need to talk with your IT folks in your system.

good product and versitle

Our hospital recently installed EPIC. Was using Dragon on my iPhone. Not very convenient. Bought the PowerMicIII. Works great. Convenient. Easy to install.

I use voice dictation because I am disabled.I got this microphone because it is recommended by Nuance, who produced the excellent DragonDictate voice dictation software. The microphone is almost certainly a very good microphone, but it needs to be held between one and 3 inches to the side of your mouth. It also has some buttons which enable you to use it as a mouse, but how you are supposed to use these while holding it next to your mouth, particularly if your hands don't work very well, is a real puzzle.So I sent the Nuance microphone back, and purchased a £25 desktop microphone which works perfectly well and is much more suited to my needs. Hopefully this review will save some people £185!

Je reviens sur mon commentaire de 2018.Le bouton de dictée est difficile à utiliser car ils restent souvent bloqués en position dictée.Ou alors il ne fonctionne pas du tout.Avec le temps, ce produit vieillit mal.
