Using a Handheld
Recorder (Preferred
edition only)
ictating into a handheld recorder frees you from having to sit in
front of the computer as you write. You can dictate into the recorder
anytime, anywhere. When you return to the computer, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
® transcribes what you said.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® supports specific recorders that have been
certified by ScanSoft, including the Dragon NaturallyMobile ® recorder,
the Sony ® Memory Stick ™ IC Recorder ICD-MS, the Sony ® ICD-BP
recorder, and the Sony ® ICD-R100 recorder. See the Web site listed on
page 259 for more information about certified recorders.
Getting ready to use a handheld recorder is a two-part process. First, you
train Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® to recognize your voice as it sounds
using the microphone in the recorder. Then, once initial training is
complete, you can dictate to the recorder and have Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
® transcribe your dictation. These two steps are the
same, conceptually, as when you first set up Dragon NaturallySpeaking ®
to recognize your speech through a microphone, though a few details are
different in practice.
To prepare Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® for use with a recorder, follow
these steps:
■ Install the recorder software (required only for certain recorders).
■ Create a user specifically adapted to the sound of your recorded
speech.
