You can only use unencrypted .dss or .ds2 files when creating a User Profile
with a portable recorder.
Sony "Digital Voice Editor" software (.msv, .dvf)
Use this option if you'll be dictating with a Sony Digital Voice Editor recorder.
Notes
n If you switch between microphones you must at least rerun the audio
check. For best accuracy, create a different User Profile for each device
you plan to use.
n Some editions of Dragon allow you to create and train User Profiles with
multiple dictation sources. For example, with the same User Profiles, you
can dictate with a headset microphone or a portable recorder. For more
information, see .
Position your microphone properly
Use this screen to help you position your microphone for optimal speech
recognition. Positioning the microphone correctly is one of the most important
things you can do to enhance recognition accuracy. If the microphone moves
even slightly away from the optimal position, your recognition accuracy may
significantly deteriorate.
Use the pictures and descriptions on the wizard screen and in this topic as
guides for microphone positioning.
To position a headset microphone
n Adjust the headset so that it fits comfortably.
n Move the microphone element to the side of your mouth to avoid noise
from breathing.
n Make sure that the microphone element is close to your mouth, but not
touching it (about an inch from the side of your mouth).
n Confirm that the front of the microphone points toward your mouth. The
front may be indicated by a colored dot, the word "Talk," or some other
label.
n Position the headset consistently every time you use it.
The following graphics illustrate how to wear a headset microphone.
