Setting options for SpeechMikesTopic number: 1425412862526

You can configure which actions in the application are triggered when using the SpeechMike buttons.

WARNING!

Attempting to remove a selection of text using the Scratch that speech command after stopping a recording does not remove the selected text in the audio file. This also applies when the command is linked to a SpeechMike button. However, using the Scratch that command while recording a dictation does successfully remove text in the report and in the audio file. The Scratch that command successfully removes the last dictated text without selecting it.
