Position the microphone correctly, enunciate the words clearly and if you are in a different enviroment than the one you trained on, Run the Audio Setup Wizard to recalibrate your microphone.

Part I

• After General Training is finished, save your voice files and shut down.
• Start up again and this time read some general purpose story out of a magazine or newspaper for about two pages. Dictate one paragraph at a time and you do not need to look at the screen. Do not speak louder than you intend to when dictating normally instead of reading.
• After each paragraph, turn the mic off and proof read your work. Correct and train any errors by using the "Correct That" command or the "-" key. When you correct the errors, do not select single words, select phrases -- even if only one of the words in the phrase is incorrect.
• Shut down the program and answer yes when asked if you wish to save your voice files.
• Start again and read the magazine story again - you should notice a big improvement!

Part II

• Gather as many as possible of your stored documents. If your files are already in .doc, .rtf, .txt, .html or .wpd format it is not necessary to convert them.
• Use the "Vocabulary Builder" to scan those documents for new words and to re adjust the language model to way you write.
• A language model consists of information about how words are typically used in a particular subject area. It is based on how frequently words are used alone and in combination with one another. Its purpose is to enhance recognition accuracy.
• After its finished, save your voice files and shut down NaturallySpeaking.
• Remember, using the Correction Dialog Box updates your voice files, merely Selecting words and changing them to something else does not.

IF YOU DO NOT USE THE CORRECTION DIALOG BOX TO CORRECT & TRAIN, YOUR RECOGNITION WILL NOT IMPROVE!
