Dictating Into Your Recorder - ScanSoft ICD-BP150VTP Dragon Naturally Speaking 7 User Manual

1 2 Using Portable Recorders (Preferred and higher)

Dictating into your recorder

You can start dictating once you have trained Dragon NaturallySpeaking to
recognize your recorded speech.
When you dictate into your recorder, you should follow the same guidelines you use
when talking directly to the computer.
Here are some additional tips for getting good results:
If you talk directly into a built-in microphone, always hold your recorder at the
same distance from your mouth. Some users report that it is easier to rest the
recorder on their jaw for the most consistent results. Be sure to hold the recorder
at the same distance you used when you dictated the training text.
Don't change the recording volume setting on your recorder (if it has one). Keep
the same setting you used during training.
For a better quality recording, consider connecting your headset microphone to
your recorder, rather than talking into the built-in microphone. Most recorders
include connection for an external microphone a mike-in connection.

The restricted command set
When you are dictating into a recorder, most of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice
commands cannot be used effectively because they require that you see the results
on a computer screen. The restricted command set, however, can be used without
visual feedback when you are dictating into your recorder. These are the commands
in the restricted command set:
