Features
Read full description

The Solventum Mobile Microphone is a mobile application that allows clinicians to dictate using the Solventum Fluency Direct Desktop Application without the need for a physical microphone attached to the PC. Once the mobile application is paired one time with a Solventum Fluency Direct User ID, the user of the application can dictate using Solventum Fluency Direct running on any physical desktop or virtual device without a need for docking, Bluetooth or physical connections. The application uses secure data transmission to stream audio from the mobile device directly to Solventum Fluency Direct running elsewhere. It builds on the same cloud-based Solventum Speech Understanding (tm) technology powering all Solventum solutions, so existing clinician voice profiles can be used easily and instantly for optimal accuracy.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Epic Canto holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epic Canto has 124 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Epic Canto's written reviews are positive against 26% of Solventum Mobile Microphone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Epic Canto ships an update every 3 weeks, Solventum Mobile Microphone every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
