Maybe something like this could work. But you might need some help setting up Dragon macros.
I have never successfully set up a Dragon Naturally Speaking macro. but I wonder if you can set up a macro one computer number one what that computer to sleep, and another macro to put the second computer to sleep, and a third macro to put the third computer to sleep. You can say, "wake up" to wake up all three, and then use the appropriate macros to turn off each of the other two.

I have two laptops in front of me and I figured out how to put one microphone to sleep and turn the other one on, by keeping one headset on my head and one lying on my chest in front of me with the microphone positioned on top of my left arm. If I turn my head away from the microphone and whisper very softly into the one on my head, I am able to leave one microphone on while the other one is off. I just taught myself had to do this a few days ago out of necessity, because I'm not able at times to even get a nurse here to take my headset off my head and put the other one on my head. Sometimes I have to wait many hours before I see a nurse. What I am inquiring of you is if you know of any way I could control the microphones on three different laptops consecutively. I have a new laptop but it is not installed with Dragon yet, but when it is I would like to have all three of them in front of me. For years I have asked people if there would be a way to turn one Mike off and the other on and I've always been told I would have to physically be able to toggle a switch. I'm certain I am not the only paralyzed person in the world that is using more than one laptop at a time, especially if someone is writing and having to do research on one and transpose the information to the other while they are reading it, which is what I am doing because I am writing a book using the Bible as reference & it requires reference and research constantly between one source or the other.. Thank goodness for computers or I would have to have 10 or more volumes of materials open in front of me on the table constantly looking from one to the other.
