Saving Your Dictation; Saving A Speech Session; Saving Your Dictation As Text - IBM VIAVOICE 10-PRO USB EDITION User Manual

Saving your dictation

Before saving your dictation, decide if you want to save your dictation as a
recorded speech session, which is your dictated text along with recorded
audio of the dictated words, or simply as text.
Although the speech-session data uses a large amount of storage on your
disk—approximately 750 KB for every minute of dictation—you should save
this data if you plan to continue dictating your document or, alternatively,
want to correct and edit the document later. You should not save your
speech-session data if you have already corrected the recognition errors in the
dictation.

Saving a speech session

To save a speech session in Word:
1. Select File > Close.
2. Select the Save Dictation Session check box to save the speech session
data.
3. Click Yes to save the changes you made to the file.
If you plan to open the document in another program, such as SpeakPad, save
the document as a Rich Text Format (RTF) document so that fonts and
paragraph formats can be used by the other program.
See "Delayed correction" on page 70 for information on opening the
speech-session data for correction.

Saving your dictation as text

If you have corrected all recognition errors in your dictation, save it as a
document file:
1. Select File > Save.
2. Select Rich Text Format (RTF) in the Save as Type field.
3. Click Save. The file is now saved.
