Troubleshooting
f Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® is not working as you expect, the
suggestions in this chapter can help you sort out what may be going
on. When you’re troubleshooting problems, close all other applications,
restart your computer, and start only Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® (if the
problem is one you can reproduce in this context). Running Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
® by itself simplifies the task of making the program
work properly.
The most frequent technical problems are caused by a poor or
inadequate sound system. With a poor sound system, the microphone
and sound card combination in the computer provide a signal to Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
® that is not clear enough for the program to
accurately recognize speech. A second common source of trouble is a
conflict between Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® and other programs
consuming system resources.
Testing your sound system
Test your sound system to see if it gives Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® a
clear representation of your voice. You can test your system using the
Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® Audio Setup Wizard. You already used the
Audio Setup Wizard when you first created a new user, just before
training Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® to recognize your voice.
