Field Description
microphone
to sleep after
n minutes of
silence
puts it into Sleep mode. This setting is also referred to as the Sleep Timer. Specify
a value between 5 and 120 minutes.
Default value: 5
Note: Nuance does not recommend a value greater than 10, as
Dragon can misrecognize ambient noise as speech.

If selected, the microphone is in Sleep mode when Dragon starts. You can then turn
on the microphone by saying "Wake Up" or "Listen to Me". This is helpful if you are
using Dragon hands-free.
If deselected, the microphone is turned off when Dragon starts.
Default value: Deselected
PowerMic section
Applies to: Dragon desktop products only
There are two tabs in this section:
l Global—Click to assign actions to PowerMic buttons when you're dictating in all
applications other than the Dictation Box.
l Dictation Box—Click to assign actions to PowerMic buttons when you're dictating in
the Dictation Box.
The following table describes the default actions assigned to each PowerMic button. You can
select a different action from the list for each button. The actions that you select here determine
the default settings for Dragon client users. If necessary, users can change their default settings.
When users click the Restore Defaults button on the PowerMic page in the Dragon client, their
settings are restored to the options you determine in this section.
To restore the default values for these settings in the NMC console, click Restore Defaults. You
must click Restore Defaults on both the Global tab and the Dictation Box tab to restore all
PowerMic default settings.
