Assign hotkeys to SpeechMike

You can use specific hotkeys on your keyboard to control SpeechLive (see Hotkeys for more information).
You can assign those hotkeys to the buttons of your SpeechMike, enabling you to control SpeechLive with your SpeechMike.

	Note
Using this method could lead to problems if the browser window is not in focus. Do not use this installation method in conjunction with the Philips Device Connector (PDC), since PDC deactivates the usage of hotkeys in SpeechLive. When working with hotkeys the RECORD LED of the SpeechMike will always be lit. Firmware 2.60 or above is required to use hotkeys with your SpeechMike. See Upgrade the firmware of your dictation hardware for more information on how to upgrade your devices.
