Migrating to PowerScribe One

If you use PowerMic buttons to trigger Presto — for example Merge Findings or OCR capture — PowerScribe One must not have its own action assigned to those same buttons. Otherwise PowerScribe intercepts the press before Presto sees it. Button assignments may not carry over from PowerScribe 360, so check them here.

In PowerScribe One, click your user name in the top-right corner and choose Preferences.

Select Devices → PowerMic in the left sidebar. For every button you use with Presto, set its action to Nothing. Leave DICTATE as your normal dictation control. Click OK to save.

To choose which Presto action each button performs, and for the full list of supported devices, see Setting Up Microphone Buttons & Keyboard Shortcuts.

Presto Anywhere lets you dictate findings into a dedicated field in your report and have Presto merge them automatically, without opening the Findings panel. The Presto Findings field you created in PowerScribe 360 may not transfer to PowerScribe One. If it didn’t, recreate it here. This is a one-time setup that takes about a minute.

In PowerScribe One, open the AutoText tab and click + New AutoText.

In the Settings panel, set:

  • Name: Findings (or any name you prefer — choose something easy to invoke by voice)
  • Type: Macro

In the AutoText editor, click Text Field in the toolbar to insert a fill-in field. In the field’s settings, set the Name to Presto Findings, then click Save.

Insert the Findings AutoText into your report (or whatever you named the AutoText), then dictate or type your findings into the Presto Findings field — in any format, no special punctuation or formatting required. Click the merge button in the Presto widget (or use your microphone or keyboard shortcut), and Presto routes your findings into the correct template fields and generates an impression.
