Handheld Microphones

“Hold to Talk” is the recommended setting for when using a handheld microphone. This option allows you to press down a microphone button, key press, or foot pedal which will begin and sustain your recording session. When finished recording, release the button to end the recording session. Release the record button when pausing so as not to record typing, ambient noise, or conversations.

When dictating, hold the device approximately 4-6 inches off to the side of your mouth. When turning your head, please remember to keep the microphone at a constant distance near your mouth.

Place the handheld device in the palm of your hand with the thumb able to reach the record button. Your index finger will rest near the trigger button on the bottom side of the device. Be careful not to squeeze tightly so as not to accidentally press the trigger button.
