Using Speech Recognition; Setting Up Speech Recognition - Motion Computing C5v User Manual

You can use the Speak Anywhere acoustics software to fine tune the built-in microphones
to suit your environment. The software enables you to use the microphones in a variety of
settings, including small or large groups, noisy environments, or for individual dictation or
voice commands. The software improves the microphone reception by:
•
Removing all sounds outside of the user-defined angle of acceptance.
•
Minimizing background and ambient noise.
•
Removing echo caused by the microphone picking up the speaker output (feedback).

Using speech recognition

You can use speech recognition to interact with your tablet by voice. You can dictate
documents and emails or use voice commands to control programs.
•
Dictation mode—With Dictation mode, your tablet listens to everything you say and
converts your words to text. You can use dictation mode to enter text directly into any
document or text box.
•
Voice command mode—With Voice command mode, your tablet listens for specific
words that correspond to a list of available voice commands. You can use commands to
switch between programs, save documents, copy, paste or undo.

Setting up speech recognition

Before you can use speech recognition, you must configure the microphones and train the
system for the characteristics of your voice. Then, you can take the available speech tutorial
to learn basic voice commands.
