PowerMic Mobile for Dragon Medical One
A secure wireless microphone that moves with the clinician.
PowerMic Mobile allows clinicians to use a compatible iPhone or Android smartphone as the microphone for Dragon Medical One. The phone pairs with Dragon Medical One on a supported Windows workstation, giving the user familiar microphone controls without requiring a dedicated handheld USB microphone at every desk.
Use the phone you already carry
Use a compatible smartphone for clear audio capture and microphone control when dictating with Dragon Medical One.
Move between workstations
Pair with an authorised Dragon Medical One session at a different workstation instead of carrying and reconnecting a USB microphone.
Control dictation from the screen
Use on-screen controls and programmable buttons to start and stop dictation, navigate and support common Dragon Medical One actions.
Support shared and virtual environments
A practical microphone option for shared consulting rooms, hot desks, thin clients and supported virtual desktop deployments.
An important distinction
PowerMic Mobile is a microphone for Dragon Medical One, not a standalone dictation app.
The app captures the clinician's voice and sends it to the paired Dragon Medical One session on the computer. The recognised text appears in the desktop application, clinical system, document or Dragon Dictation Box where the clinician is working.
What it does
Acts as the wireless microphone for the desktop session
- Captures audio for Dragon Medical One.
- Starts and stops the desktop microphone.
- Provides programmable on-screen controls.
- Pairs with authorised Windows workstations.
What it does not do
It does not replace the Dragon Medical One desktop application
- It is not a standalone medical recorder.
- It does not create documents independently on the phone.
- It still requires an active Dragon Medical One session.
- It is not the microphone pathway used by Voicepoint Helium on Mac.
How PowerMic Mobile works
Install, pair, dictate and move on.
Once PowerMic Mobile has been configured for the clinician, connecting it to Dragon Medical One is straightforward.
1. Install the app
Install PowerMic Mobile on a compatible iPhone or Android smartphone using the approved setup instructions for the organisation.
2. Sign in to Dragon Medical One
Open Dragon Medical One on the supported Windows workstation and sign in with the clinician's authorised account.
3. Pair the phone
Select PowerMic Mobile as the microphone and connect the phone to the active Dragon Medical One session.
4. Start dictating
Tap the microphone control on the phone and dictate into the compatible desktop application, browser field, document or Dragon Dictation Box.
Where PowerMic Mobile fits best
A practical microphone option for clinicians who do not stay at one desk.
PowerMic Mobile is most useful where the clinician already uses Dragon Medical One but wants greater freedom across consulting rooms, workstations or locations.
Shared consulting rooms
Clinicians can pair their own phone with the workstation they are using rather than relying on a microphone left in the room.
Hospital and clinic workstations
Move between supported workstations across clinics, wards or departments while retaining a familiar microphone interface.
Virtual desktops and thin clients
Support compatible virtualised clinical environments without depending on a locally connected USB microphone at every endpoint.
Home and remote workstations
Use the same PowerMic Mobile setup with an authorised Dragon Medical One workstation at home or another approved location.
Features for clinicians and IT teams
Simple for the user, manageable for the organisation.
PowerMic Mobile combines a familiar microphone experience with the deployment and administration controls required by larger healthcare teams.
iOS and Android
Provide a consistent microphone option across supported iPhone and Android smartphones.
Programmable buttons
Configure on-screen buttons for available Dragon Medical One functions and frequently used actions.
Automatic pairing options
Connect the authorised phone with the intended Dragon Medical One workstation using the configured pairing method.
Multiple workstations
Use one configured phone across multiple authorised Dragon Medical One workstations and organisations where enabled.
Central administration
Support scalable configuration and management for healthcare organisations with larger clinician groups.
Mobile device management
PowerMic Mobile can be incorporated into supported mobile device management and organisational deployment processes.
Requirements and practical considerations
PowerMic Mobile works with Dragon Medical One on a supported Windows workstation.
The mobile app and desktop session work together. The phone needs connectivity, while Dragon Medical One must be installed and running on the supported computer.
- An active Dragon Medical One subscription.
- An active PowerMic Mobile entitlement.
- A supported Windows workstation or compatible virtual environment.
- iOS 15 or later, or Android 11 or later.
- Internet connectivity over approved Wi-Fi or mobile data.
- Organisation-specific setup or configuration instructions.
Practical note: if the phone locks or receives a call, PowerMic Mobile may disconnect and need to pair with the workstation again. Using Do Not Disturb can help during longer dictation sessions.
Windows Dragon Medical One users
PowerMic Mobile is designed for the Windows-based Dragon Medical One desktop experience. Mac users accessing Dragon Medical One through Voicepoint Helium should use a compatible microphone supported for that environment.
