SpeechMike and foot pedal settings are configured for each workstation. To review and modify these settings, click on Settings/Customize Settings/Dictation.
Two SpeechMike control modes exist. The state based mode requires the microphone be enabled and disabled. To enable it, press the top center button on the SpeechMike (the red light comes on). To disable it, press the button again.
The persistent mode (default) records while you hold down the record button and stops when you release.
If the foot pedal is not identified automatically, select it from the foot pedal list. If your foot pedal type is not listed, the software may not support it.
The playback mode settings apply to playing back the recording using a foot pedal. The Play/Stop mode allows you to start and stop playback through separate actions. The Push-to-play mode plays the dictation when the pedal is pushed down, and stops when released.
The rewind/fast forward modes control the way the system adjusts the current position of the recording. In Continuous mode, the recording advances while you hold down the rewind or fast forward button, and stops when you release it. In Steps mode, each button click advances the amount of time defined by the Step time. If steps mode is applied, hold down the rewind or fast forward button for the Hold down time to advance the recording to the beginning or end.
