Microphone Setup…
Use this if accuracy seems to be decreasing. Microphone
Setup will help if you change the microphone’s position, if the
noise level in the environment has changed, or adjust your
profile if the characteristics of your voice change.
Figure 7-13
Voice Training…
Select Voice Training (Figure 7-14) when you want to read
more training stories in order to further improve your accuracy.
Stories you have already read are indicated with a MacSpeech
Dictate icon next to their name. Select a story from the list in
the Voice Training Selection window and then follow the
on-screen instructions.
As you read, recognized text will turn green. If something is
not recognized, the text will turn red. When that happens,
pause briefly, and re-read from the text that is not green.

you commonly use which are not in MacSpeech Dictate’s
extensive vocabulary.

This allows you to select text in MacSpeech Dictate’s Note
Pad and have MacSpeech Dictate learn new vocabulary from
it.
