See [**Dictation**](/v1/docs/wireless-microphone-android-help-dictation). ### Forward and Back Buttons Tap the forward arrow button (▶▶) and back arrow button (◀◀) to move forward and back through form fields in a web browser on your desktop when linked to nVoq Voice. ### Play Button The play (▶) button, which is only visible after a recording has been made, allows you to listen to your last dictation recording. This recording is cleared when you leave the application. Note that this button *only* plays last dictation recording, it does not play last voice shortcut recording. See [**Dictation**](/v1/docs/wireless-microphone-android-help-dictation). ### Checkmark Button This no longer has functionality in any current nVoq application. ### Voice Shortcut (Star) Button This no longer has functionality in any current nVoq application. The button with the star is used to run shortcuts using a voice command. See [**Shortcuts: Voice Shortcuts**](/v1/docs/wireless-microphone-android-help-shortcuts#voice-shortcuts). ### Quick Access Shortcut Buttons (Hold to Assign) On the dictation screen there are four buttons that initially say **Hold to assign**. You can assign each of these buttons to a frequently-used shortcut that you can use with a tap of your finger when you're signed in to nVoq Voice. See [**Shortcuts: Quick Access Buttons**](/v1/docs/wireless-microphone-android-help-shortcuts#quick-access-shortcut-buttons). **When the Wireless Microphone is linked to nVoq Voice, nothing will happen if you tap a quick access button that is linked any type of shortcut other than Insert Text.**  ### All Shortcuts Button Tap the **All Shortcuts** button at the bottom of the dictation screen to see your list of all available shortcuts. Tap on a shortcut in the list to launch it on the computer running nVoq Voice. When linked to nVoq Voice, this list will only include the type of shortcuts that nVoq Voice can run. See [**Shortcuts: All Shortcuts Button**](/v1/docs/wireless-microphone-android-help-shortcuts#all-shortcuts-button). **When the Wireless Microphone is linked to nVoq Voice, nothing will happen when you tap a quick access button that is linked any type of shortcut other than Insert Text.**  ## Please sign in to a Voice Client then tap here / Linked to: [Computer Name] If the Wireless Microphone is not linked to any voice client the screen will say, "Please sign in to a Voice client then tap here." To link to a voice client: 1. Tap **Please sign in to a Voice Client then tap here** at the bottom of the dictation screen. (You must be already signed in to a dictation client on your computer!) 2. On the Select Voice Client screen of the Wireless Microphone **tap the name of the computer** that is running the dictation client to put a checkmark beside it. 3. Tap the **Apply** button at the bottom of the screen. 4. The dictation screen on the Wireless Mic now displays the words "Linked to:" followed by the name of the computer on which you're currently running nVoq Voice. This is the computer on which dictation text will paste, and where shortcuts will run. To switch to using the Wireless Microphone on a *different* computer/voice client: 1. **Tap the computer name** to open a list of all computers on which you are *currently signed in* to a voice client that is *configured to use the Wireless Microphone* as the recording device. ![16_1-linked-voice-client-tapping](https://cdn.us.document360.io/03b5534a-5f9a-42ce-852d-08bf09105da4/Images/Documentation/16_1-linked-voice-client-tapping.png) 2. **Tap the radio button next to another voice client/computer name**. (*In order for the voice client to appear in the list you must be signed in to the client and the client must be configured to use the Wireless Microphone as the recording device.*) ![16_1-select-voice-client-2option](https://cdn.us.document360.io/03b5534a-5f9a-42ce-852d-08bf09105da4/Images/Documentation/16_1-select-voice-client-2option.png) 3.

The name next to the **Linked to:** field changes to the voice client/computer to which you are now connected. ![linked-voice-client-changed-Boulder](https://cdn.us.document360.io/03b5534a-5f9a-42ce-852d-08bf09105da4/Images/Documentation/linked-voice-client-changed-Boulder.png) **You can dictate to a voice** **client in a different location, you would just need to be signed in on the voice client with the same username and password that you used to sign in on the Wireless Microphone app. For example, you can run the voice client on your computer at your office, then connect to it on the Wireless Mic app from home, and your dictation transcripts will appear on your office computer.**
