Use this article to select a microphone for dictation or ambient recording in Dragon Copilot. You choose which microphone Dragon Copilot uses, and your selection is saved per platform (web, desktop, embedded, or mobile) each time you sign in.
Note
For optimal ambient recording audio quality, use the Dragon Copilot mobile app and your phone’s built-in microphone.
View your microphone options
You can select your preferred microphone source by using the dropdown menu by the microphone icon or in settings.
Select the dropdown menu next to the microphone icon and select your preferred microphone source.
Select Settings
> Mic and then select your preferred microphone source.
Dragon Copilot automatically saves your selection for the current platform.
Note
If the selected device isn't available when you relaunch the application, Dragon Copilot uses the system default microphone. If you change the system default microphone outside of Dragon Copilot, refresh or restart the application to reflect the change.
Use Mobile mic
If you don't have a microphone connected to your device, you can use your mobile device as a microphone for your Dragon Copilot web or desktop session.
See Use Mobile mic with Dragon Copilot.
Microphones with configurable options
If your microphone supports programmable buttons to perform specific actions, see Configure your microphone buttons.
Note
If you use a microphone with configurable buttons while another Dragon product, is open, Dragon Copilot displays an alert 
indicating a possible conflict. To prevent conflicts, close the other Dragon product or choose a different microphone.
