Q: How can I use the Philips slide switch SpeechMike with Dragon NaturallySpeaking?
A: The record button of the SpeechMike Classic (Philips slide switch) is preconfigured with the
Record-Toggle function. The four position switch operates as it is printed on the device (e.g. PLAY
starts playback, fast forwards moves the cursor forwards,...).
Q: Why is "Record Toggle" the default setting for the record button?
A: According to user feedback “record toggle” is the most convenient recording mode.
Additionally this method reduces the risks of losing recognized texts by releasing the record button
too early compared to the “push-to-talk” mode.
Q: Can I switch the record button from toggle mode to push-to-talk?
A: Yes, this can be done. Just change the “button pressed” event to “microphone on” and add the
"Microphone off and stop" command to the "button release" event.
Then the microphone is switched on when pressing the record button and switched off when
releasing the record button.
Q: Can I switch my SpeechMike Classic to a “German” slide switch stype?

tab. Simply exchange the PLAY and the STOP function and upload the setting to the SpeechMike.
