This app is constantly moving the cursor around when I take my notes on epic. I could be in the middle of speaking a sentence and for whatever reason it will go back in place the rest of my sentence in the first half of what I’m already dictating. I can’t tell you how often this announce my notes and makes me take at least twice as long to write them. Sometimes I type by hand because it just goes faster. Please fix this, it didn’t used to be a problem as of three months ago.

Once you start this app it asks you to add a profile. The next page has two boxes: Profile URL and Profile name. You can’t enter a URL. The keyboard won’t come up. So IT had to text me the URL and it says “Invalid profile”. So I went to Help and the screenshots it shows aren’t even *close* to what is on the app. Also went on their website and the screenshots are clearly of a different version. So pros: none Cons: doesn’t work at all, and the help is not for this version.

The app disconnects very frequently. My iPhone is tied to the Epic EMR and obviously I cannot change the settings on the phone to prevent it from locking after a few minutes (this is security related hospital driven setting) and as soon as the iPhone locks the power mic also disconnects. To go back in you again need to open the app tab and then again login and then again click the microphone on to dictate. Extremely annoying. Also if you switch between the power mic app and some other app, you have to redo the whole connection again. Makes the whole process of dictating very inefficient. Should have an always on top function which does not disconnect and with a simple voice command like “turn power mic on” or “off” to start and stop dictating. I was initially very enthusiastic about using it but it’s just clunky the way it is.
