One microphone. More than one workflow.
Built for the way clinical documentation is changing.
The Philips SpeechMike Ambient PSM5000 combines wearable ambient capture with focused professional dictation, giving clinicians one microphone for patient conversations, direct speech input, and modern AI documentation workflows.
Ambient capture
A four-microphone array captures single- and multi-speaker audio while the clinician stays mobile.
Focused dictation
Switch to Dictation Mode when you want the microphone to focus on the primary speaker and suppress background voices.
AI-ready audio
Purpose-built audio capture supports conversational AI, ambient documentation, speech recognition, and other voice-driven applications.
Wear it and move
Use the magnetic mounting clip or neck strap for hands-free operation across rooms and clinical work areas.
Made for modern Dragon workflows
A natural hardware companion for Dragon Copilot.
Philips documents support for SpeechMike devices in Dragon Copilot on both web and desktop clients. The PSM5000 can serve as the selected audio input, support configurable button actions, show record status, and handle both ambient recording and focused dictation workflows.
That means clinicians can move from the patient conversation to direct voice input without reaching for a different microphone.

Available functions and button behavior can vary by Dragon Copilot client, configuration, and administrator settings.
