Use application shortcuts
The Device Control Center software allows to start and con-

eration with Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition
software and Microsoft Powerpoint. Additional proles for
other applications can be programmed.
1. Download and install the latest version of SpeechCon-
trol (Philips Device Control Center) from https://
www.dictation.philips.com/speechcontrol.
