Nuance PowerMic II Support for Dragon

Using the PowerMic II With Dragon

The Nuance® PowerMic® II is a proprietary USB microphone (pictured above) manufactured by the same company that makes Dragon® Naturally Speaking software. This microphone is officially supported for use with:

  • Dragon Medical 10.1
  • Dragon Medical Practice Edition
  • Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2
  • Dragon Medical Network Edition
  • Dragon Medical One
  • Dragon Professional Group 14
  • Dragon Legal Group 14

 

Not Supported

Unfortunately, the PowerMic II is not supported for use with Dragon Pro/Legal Individual 14 or Dragon for Mac® products. After running several tests, we did find that a Mac will recognize the PowerMic and accept audio input. However, none of the buttons can be used or programmed. We recommend using the Philips SpeechMike Premium instead.
