Miscellaneous options
The “Pause Required Before Commands” control affects the length of
the pause required before commands. Leave this at the default setting.
If your commands are being recognized as dictation or if Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
is not recognizing commands, these problems may
be related to the length of pauses. See “Troubleshooting” on page 211.
The “Speed vs. Accuracy” control affects how much computer
processing Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
uses as it recognizes your speech.
The default setting varies from computer to computer. On most
computers, the automatic settings works best.
The “Disk space reserved for recording” control affects how much disk
space Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
uses to record the sound of your voice
as you speak. It uses this recording to play back what you said during
proofreading and corrections. One megabyte can store about a minute of
sound. To turn off speech recording, change this setting to zero.
The “Automatically back up user files every <5> saves” control changes
how often Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
backs up your user files. There’s
no need to change this control. To back up your user files more reliably,
store them separately from your computer on a removable disk,
