consistent results. Be sure to hold the recorder at the same distance
you used when you dictated the training text.
■
Don’t change the recording volume setting on your recorder (if it has
one). Keep the same setting you used during training. If the setting
changes, check the audio volume and quality again. From the
NaturallySpeaking menu, point to Advanced and click Check
Audio.
■
Consider connecting your headset microphone to your recorder,
rather than talking into the built-in microphone. Using the headset
microphone is likely to produce better quality recordings.
The restricted command set
When you are dictating into a recorder, most of the Dragon
NaturallySpeaking voice commands cannot be used effectively because
they require that you see the results on a computer screen. The
restricted command set, however, can be used without visual feedback
when you are dictating into your recorder. The following is a list of the
commands in the restricted command set:
■
New Paragraph

Resume With
“Resume With” is particularly useful when you are using a recorder. It lets you
back up if you misspeak or change your mind after dictating a phrase. For more
information, see “Backing up as you dictate” on page 101.
