Now Available: Dragon Medical SpeechKit (Browser Edition), Dragon Medical Embedded 2026.3 & PowerMic Web Extension 2026.3

Product Announcement

Now Available: Dragon Medical SpeechKit (Browser edition), Dragon Medical Embedded 2026.3 Release, and PowerMic Web Extension 2026.3 Release — US region.

We are excited to announce that Dragon Medical SpeechKit (Browser edition) and Dragon Medical Embedded 2026.3, as well as PowerMic Web Extension 2026.3, are now available to integration partners on the Mainline channels in the US.

Scope of Change

This release further improves the product and end-user experience in the event of failovers and addresses the following field issues:

• PowerMic Web Extension can now be installed for Edge browsers on Windows. To install the extension on Edge, the browser must be set to allow extensions from other stores.
• NUSA_OnlineHelpURL API was marked as deprecated and will be removed in the next version.
• The PowerMic LED button now correctly turns on when recording starts and turns off when recording stops.
• Fixed issue with TypeError occurring using an element with type SVGAnimatedEnumeration that is not a string.
• Fixed issue with a line break added inside a div element when loading the SDK.

The upgrade of the Delayed channel is currently not planned.

Release Channels (US)

Dragon Medical SpeechKit (Browser edition) is provided on three release channels: Beta, Mainline, and Delayed. We advise that development partners have all three channels configurable for their integrations, so rather than changing integrations to test different versions, they only need to switch test installations to Beta.

Beta channel — the version in development. Use this channel to verify that your application works with the upcoming version.

• US: https://speechanywhere.nuancehdp.com/beta/scripts/Nuance.SpeechAnywhere.js

Release cycle: Up to one release per week.

Mainline channel — the officially released version. Use this channel to integrate the latest officially released version.

• US: https://speechanywhere.nuancehdp.com/mainline/scripts/Nuance.SpeechAnywhere.js

Release cycle: Approximately one to three releases per quarter.

Delayed channel — one version previous to Mainline. Use this channel to downgrade from Mainline if critical issues that affect your integration occur on Mainline; they are likely to be solved before the next Mainline release.

• US: https://speechanywhere.nuancehdp.com/delayed/scripts/Nuance.SpeechAnywhere.js

Release cycle: Approximately one to three releases per quarter.

Please note: Legacy URLs (version-specific paths like /3.3) are deprecated with the new channels concept.

PowerMic Web Extension

Dragon Medical SpeechKit (Browser edition) is compatible with the PowerMic Web Extension, available on the Google Chrome Extensions Web Store: Nuance PowerMic Web Extension.
