Your whole reading workflow. One keypad.

PACSPad is a programmable 16-button controller with direct dictation integration for PowerScribe and Dragon — plus macros, layers, and Bluetooth remapping for everything else you do at the workstation.

  • Direct dictation integration

    Plug in and your dictation software just sees it. Map record, play, rewind, and navigation to any button — or hold to dictate, release to stop. No drivers, no installs.

  • One press, multiple commands

    Super Macros chain keystrokes, text, and delays into a single button press.

  • 64 actions at your fingertips

    Four switchable layers turn 16 buttons into up to 64 actions. Keep dictation on one layer, PACS shortcuts on another, templates on a third.

  • A hub for your whole desk

    Two USB-A ports pass your wired mouse and mic straight through to the computer. Bluetooth pairs up to four more devices — with buttons you can remap to anything, dictation commands included.

Frequently asked questions

Does PACSPad work with PowerScribe and Dragon?

Yes. PACSPad integrates directly with PowerScribe, Dragon, and other dictation platforms — the software recognizes it natively over USB. No drivers or companion apps needed.

Does it replace my microphone?

No — PACSPad is a button controller, not a microphone. Keep using your existing mic for dictation audio.

What do I need to configure it?

Just Chrome or Edge. The browser-based configurator handles buttons, macros, layers, profiles, and firmware updates. Settings are stored on the device, so it works on any workstation afterward — including locked-down hospital PCs.

Can multiple radiologists share one PACSPad?

Yes. Profiles save complete configurations and switch in seconds, from the device itself or the configurator. An optional boot PIN can lock the device in shared spaces.

How does it connect?

A single USB connection (3-meter USB-C to USB-A cable included). Two USB-A passthrough ports connect your wired mouse, microphone, or any other USB device straight through to the computer, and Bluetooth handles wireless accessories — one cable serves the whole desk. Note: the USB ports are direct passthrough; button remapping applies to Bluetooth devices.
