Reading text to train Dragon

Consider providing some acoustic training after the first few days of practicing dictation: by then, speaking clearly

but naturally into a microphone should be easier, and your reading of the text presented by Dragon should better

reflect how you sound when you actually dictate.

If your speech presents a particular challenge for speech recognition (due to a lisp or a strong accent for

instance), you should perform a reading for acoustic training as soon as possible.

Step 1: From the Audio menu, click or say Read text to improve accuracy. (You can also use the link in the

Accuracy Center.)

Step 2: Choose from among the proposed texts, then click Next and choose whether to read the text off the

screen or print it.

TIP: Try to speak clearly but naturally and read exactly what is on the screen. Pause if you need to.
