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.
