Did you know you can prevent the PowerMic II from periodically going in and out of record mode?
When the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting user profile option, “Beep on command recognized” is enabled and the PowerMic II DICTATE button is set to “toggle dictation on off”, the microphone will go in and out of record when moving to an auto-text fill-in field that doesn’t include a default value. To prevent the microphone from going in and out of record, you can either add a default value to the auto-text fill-in fields or simply disable the “Beep on command recognized” option.
Perform the following to disable the "Beep on command recognized" option:
- Login to the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting dictation client.
- On the Menu bar, click Tools > Preferences and the Preferences dialog will appear.
- In the left pain, select Dictation.
- Disable the Beep on command recognized option by clicking the related box so it appears unchecked.
- Click the OK button to save changes and exit Preferences.

Did you know you can prevent the PowerMic II from periodically going out of record mode?
The PowerScribe 360 | Reporting dictation client has a user preference option, "Microphone off idle time", which allows a user to choose the maximum amount of idle time before the microphone will automatically go out of record. When a user has the PowerMic II DICTATE button set to “toggle dictation on off”, the microphone will go into record mode and allow for continuous recording of dictation without the need to maintain pressing the record button. When the system goes into record mode, the system begins counting idle time, i.e., dead air time or silence. Once the amount of idle time meets the value set in the "microphone off idle time" setting, the microphone will automatically exit record mode.
|
IMPORTANT: The counting of idle time doesn't reset, or start over, when a user begins to dictate after an idle time period; it continues counting idle time for the entire time the microphone remains in record mode. The idle time counter will only reset when the user goes out of record mode. |
For example: Dr. Smith configures the "Microphone off idle time" setting to "10 seconds." Dr. Smith opens a study and presses the record button to go into continuous record. Dr. Smith dictates five seconds of content followed by 5 seconds of silence (microphone remains in record mode for both dictation and silence). Dr. Smith continues dictating 5 seconds of content followed by 4 seconds of silence. Dr. Smith dictates 5 additional seconds of content and then he is silent. After 1 second of silence the microphone turns off automatically. The reason why the microphone went out of record mode is because Dr. Smith's idle time during this recording session is now 10 seconds in length, which meets the "microphone off idle time" setting of 10 seconds. Refer to the 'Idle time counter' row in the image below.
Perform the following to disable the "Microphone off idle time" option:
- Login to the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting dictation client.
- On the Menu bar, click Tools > Preferences and the Preferences dialog will appear.
- In the left pain, select Dictation.
- Disable the Microphone off idle time option by using the drop-down to select Disabled.
- Click the OK button to save changes and exit Preferences.
