Handheld Microphones for Dragon Medical & Professional
Benefits of Handheld Microphones
Brief Bursts of Dictation
Handheld microphones are efficient if you dictate for less than a few minutes multiple times throughout the day.
In between activities, simply pick up the microphone, dictate, and then lay the microphone down.
Programmable Buttons
Programming buttons on a handheld microphone accomplishes a variety of tasks rapidly when using Dragon.
Quickly move between fields, execute a complex macro or voice command, and so much more.
No Need for a Headset
For a variety of reasons, you may not wish to wear a headset on top of your head.
A handheld microphone may be more comfortable or even reminiscent of previously used dictation devices.
Wired Handhelds
Wired handheld microphones are connected to the USB port of your computer. Cables are quite lengthy, permitting you to stand up and move around in close proximity.
