Tips
For best results:
Use a close-talk microphone that rests near the side of your mouth instead of a
•
desktop or built-in microphone.
Train the speech recognition engine in the same environment in which you will use it.
•
For example, if you use the engine mostly in the car, perform training in the car.
Perform three training sessions to get the best results.
• When training, speak the same voice as you will when giving voice commands to the
computer. Speak distinctly and at an average speed, as if giving a command.
• Use the Microphone Wizard to ensure your microphone is working correctly and to
view tips on microphone selection and placement. To use the wizard, click
Microphone Setup on the Voice tab of the Options dialog. Or, from the Start menu
on your computer, browse to the Control Panel and double-click the Speech icon to
open the Speech Properties dialog box.
To increase the likelihood of correct speech recognition, on the Voice Settings tab in
•
the Options dialog box, select the Commands start with check box and then type
the appropriate word/phrase in the text box (if using a single word, use a word with
more than one syllable). For example, if you type computer, you would then say
"Computer, zoom in."
