Notes
n One feature of the Accuracy Center is the Accuracy Assistant, which
helps you determine which tool in the center to use. The Accuracy Assis-
tant does this by asking a series of questions and, depending on the
answers, provides links to the proper tool. To open the Accuracy Assis-
tant, first open the Accuracy Center and then click or say "Which tool
should I use?"
n When you start the Accuracy Center option that checks your audio set-
tings, the Check Microphone wizard starts and the Dragon microphone is
automatically turned off if it is on. This is necessary in order to facilitate
the audio tests.
