User questions & answers

Question:	Compatible with tablet and PC? Would like to use for both devices
Answer:	I only use it with my PC in my Mac laptop. Don’t know if it is can be used with your tablet I’m sure there’s a way to do it though.
Question:	Does it works on surface pro because its on a table? I have learning disblility
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does this have blue tooth capability
Answer:	You can use Dragon with a Bluetooth microphone. This recorder does not have Bluetooth compatibility, however we gave some recorders with Bluetooth option. Or you can use a smartphone with the Philips SpeechLive App and record with a Bluetooth headset.
Question:	As Secretary for an organization, if I use the digital recorder to record the meeting can Dragon Naturally Speaking transcribe the notes directly
Answer:	In my experience this would produce a mess. Dragon is intended to be used by *one* person. You train it to recognize what you mean by what you say. Dragon 13 is said to be excellent (I use an earlier model that's very good), but can't really be used to catch several voices. And don't forget some people will be interrupting each other, talking over one another, and so on! Dragon has no way to sort that out.

User questions & answers

Question:	What do I need if I want to use an iPad instead of a computer

Question:	Can this connect to an iPad
Answer:	Connecting to an iPad works with the proper adapter cable. GarageBand will work with the keyboard, but there isn’t support in that program to map the various knobs & keys. You may get different results with other midi compatible programs on the iPad.
