Using ViaVoice
Audio Setup Assistant
This Assistant guides you through several steps to ensure that the microphone
is connected properly. It also demonstrates proper positioning of the
microphone, and helps you to adjust the audio playback level with the help of
an interactive presentation. You must resolve any audio issues found during
this procedure before you can use ViaVoice.
When you install ViaVoice, this Assistant starts automatically when you click the right
1.
arrow on the User Information window or when you open SpeakPad.
To use it again at a later time, select the Audio Setup icon from the Welcome to
ViaVoice SetupAssistant window.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Analyze My Voice Assistant
This Assistant guides you through the steps to create a Voice Model, which
improves your recognition accuracy. As you read a story, ViaVoice learns
how you pronounce words. You can create more than one Voice Model, if you
are going to be dictating in different environments with different background
noise levels. For example, you can create a Home Voice Model and an Office
Voice Model.
Creating a Voice Model
A Voice Model is collected speech data for a User. Most of this data is collected after you
read the story. ViaVoice collects more data when you dictate, correct, or train words. The
first step in creating a Voice Model is to process a short recording of your speech.
For best recognition accuracy, you should read all parts of the story. This can be done in
two or more sessions. If ViaVoice loses track of where you are reading, you hear an
audible alert. When you hear this alert, remember to resume reading at the
blue
word. A progress meter displays the remaining recording time. When ViaVoice
collects enough information or you finish reading, the application analyzes your voice
data and creates your Voice Model.
