Updating your device
Your device is controlled by an internal program called rm-
ware. As a part of ongoing product maintenance, the rm-
ware is upgraded and errors are corrected.
It is possible that a newer version (an ‘update’) of the rm-
ware has been released since you purchased the device. In
this case, you can easily update your device to the latest
version.
Use SpeechControl (Philips Device Control Center) to up-
grade the rmware of your device. You can download the
latest version of the application here: https://www.dicta-
tion.philips.com/speechcontrol. Please follow the steps
outlined below to upgrade your device.
To upgrade your device:
1. The dictation microphone must be connected to the
computer with the USB cable.
2. Start Philips Device Control Center:
• If the option to start the Philips Device Control Center
automatically was selected during installation, open
the program by clicking the
icon in the notication

• To manually start the program, open the Windows
start menu in Windows and select Philips Speech
Control > Philips Device Control Center.
NOTE
Make sure that you're using the latest version
of Philips Device Control Center.
