Your computer and Dragon's speech model selection
If Dragon sets your speech model to BestMatch III, it also may turn off Natural
Language Commands (please see ) and sets the for Fastest Response, which
reduces the number of words or phrases examined during speech recognition,
displaying results faster but with less accuracy.
If your computer has two or more processors and other required resources,
Dragon selects the dual-pass BestMatch V speech model during user profile
creation.
For the list of available speech models, see Advanced - Choose Models in the
Dragon Help.
