Introduction
Philips dictation devices like SpeechMike or Foot control can be integrated to dictation or speech-to-text software by using one of the SDKs provided by Philips. This way, independent software vendors (ISVs) can utilize button press events, control LEDs or configure device settings inside of their software products.
Philips provides different types of SDKs, varying by supported features, supported platforms and supported devices. Most of these SDKs however are limited to Windows desktop applications. Since more and more ISVs migrate their software to web-based platforms, Philips also provides different options to integrate dictation devices to these platforms. This is explained in more details in the Integrating Philips dictation hardware in web-based apps section.
