Tips for Better Results: Voice Recognition
• When speaking into the microphone, the ideal distance to be from the Nintendo DS is about
8-12 inches. Please be aware that the microphone is very sensitive, and shouting or blowing
on it may interfere with voice recognition.
• Make sure you are speaking loudly enough by testing the microphone. To do this, go to the
Settings screen and select (page 18).
• The Nintendo DS system may have trouble recognizing your voice commands if there is a
lot of noise in the background. Try to make sure that the environment is as quiet as possible
when you give a voice command. Pronounce each word as clearly as you can, say the whole
command at a constant volume, and try to avoid using strong dialects or accents.
• Those with higher-pitched voices may find that recognition of their voices improves if they
speak a little more deeply than normal.
• Switching off the music while you’re cooking may help the Nintendo DS to pick up your voice
more accurately. Go to the Settings screen and select Music (page 18).
