5. When the list pops up, choose a text to read aloud and click OK.
You need to read for only about 5 minutes to train Dragon to recognize your
voice.
You can take breaks during this training by clicking Pause. Don’t worry if you
make mistakes or laugh. You should try to read exactly what you see on the
screen, but it’s okay if you read something incorrectly. The computer either
ignores the mistake or positions the yellow arrow at the beginning of the
text for you to reread it.
The progress bar shows how much text is left to dictate.
Note: During training, dictating punctuation is not necessary.
6. When you’ve read enough, the Training wizard displays a congratulations
message. Click OK and Dragon starts adapting to your voice.
Proceed to Adapting to your writing style, scheduling tuning.
Adapting to your writing style and scheduling
tuning
After it adapts to your voice, Dragon’s Accuracy wizard appears and prompts
you to first adapt Dragon to your writing style, then schedule regular Acoustic
and Language Model tuning, and optionally schedule Data Collection.
Adapting to your writing style (Let Dragon search for words and add them
now)
Dragon can analyze your writing style to increase your overall recognition
accuracy. This tool scans documents in your My Documents directory—
Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, text files, html files, and rich text files
(.rtf).
Adapting to your writing style can add 5 to 30 minutes to user training. Close
all other programs when you run this step.
Note:
Though we recommend that you run this part of the New User Wizard, if you
plan to skip this step, select Skip this step rather than Cancel.
1. In the Let Dragon search for words and add them now page of the Accuracy
wizard, to have Dragon search for words and phrases you use in your email
messages, select the Sent E-mails check box. To have Dragon search your
word processing and text files, select the My Documents check box.
2. Click Start to initiate the search for words. While scanning your files, the
dialog box displays the process’s status. When Dragon finishes searching, it
displays a message telling you to click Next to continue.
