Before you can transcribe 

recorded messages using Dragon 

NaturallySpeaking, you must create a 

user file specifically adapted to the sound 

of your recorded speech. This procedure 

is called “training.” 

When training is complete, Dragon 

NaturallySpeaking creates a user speech 

file containing information about your 

recorded speech. 

Refer to the operating instructions 

or the help supplied with Dragon 

NaturallySpeaking, as some parts of 

training are the same as those required 

for dictating directly to the computer 

using a headset microphone. 
Even if you have already created a user 

speech file with a headset microphone, 

you should create a separate speech 

file for the IC recorder to get better 

recognition accuracy.

When transcribing messages recorded 

using the IC recorder, the following 

tips will help you obtain maximum 

recognition accuracy. 

“STLP” or “SP” in the menu. 

When creating a user speech file 

(training), set “REC MODE” to the mode 

you normally use for voice recognition 

software. 
Set “MIC SENSITIVITY” to “LOW (L)” 

in the menu. 
Hold the IC recorder firmly and 

start recording. 

Hold the IC recorder so that the 

microphone is about an inch (2 - 3 cm) 

from the corner of your mouth, not 

directly in front of it. This minimizes the 

sound of your breath in the recordings, 

enabling maximum recognition 

accuracy. 

Avoid recording in a noisy place, such as on a 

subway platform, in order to obtain maximum 

recognition accuracy.
