IMPORTANT:

Try to speak clearly but naturally and read exactly what is on the screen. If the software

needs to hear you read something again, a yellow arrow will show you where to resume reading. If necessary,

click Pause, then click Go when you are ready to resume.

Key points about acoustic training

In general, the best thing you can do to make Dragon recognize your speech even better is to use the 

software regularly, personalizing the Vocabulary (editing Spoken Forms or Word Properties as

warranted, designating specific documents for Dragon to analyze, running or scheduling the Accuracy

Tuning process…) and correcting misrecognitions as warranted.

In certain cases (if a certain word is consistently misrecognized, or if overall accuracy is lower than you 

expected), you will want to provide Dragon some additional acoustic data.

You can train Vocabulary entries from the Vocabulary Editor (either one at time or several at once).

When providing acoustic training, remember to speak as you typically do when you dictate to Dragon. 

It’s important to avoid the temptation to over-enunciate or speak loudly when training a word or

phrase in isolation.

At any time, if you feel that the accuracy is not as high as usual, you can access Dragon’s Microphone 





Check—through DragonBar’s Audio menu or the Accuracy Center, or by saying a command such as

Check Audio.

You can improve the overall accuracy of your dictations by reading aloud one of Dragon’s acoustic 

training texts (you can go through the DragonBar’s Audio menu or the Accuracy Center). Consider

reading at least one training text as soon as possible.
