Chapter 2 Using your J3600 Connecting headphones, external speakers, or a microphone 48
Connecting headphones, external speakers, or a
microphone
You can connect headphones or external speakers with a 3.5mm plug into the headphones
port located on the left side of the Tablet PC. When speakers or headphones are connected,
the internal speakers are disabled.
You can connect an external microphone or headset with a 3.5mm plug into the
microphone port using a 3.5 mm plug. When a microphone is connected, the internal
microphones are disabled.
Using the built-in microphones
You can use the built-in array microphones to record audio, dictate notes, and use voice
commands. Depending on the display orientation, two of the three microphones are used
at the same time to optimize sound detection for speech recognition and voice recording.
Using speech recognition
You can use speech recognition to interact with your J3600 by voice. You can dictate
documents and emails or use voice commands to control programs.
• Dictation mode—With Dictation mode, your Tablet PC 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 PC 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.
