Running General Training again
If you’ve been following the procedures in this chapter, but Dragon
NaturallySpeaking continues to make a lot of mistakes, you may need to
spend some more time teaching the program how you pronounce words.
You can do this by running General Training again and reading another
training text aloud.
Doing more General Training can also help if your speaking style has
changed since your first experience with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. If
you spend some more time training the program and make an effort to
speak the way you do when you dictate, you should see an improvement
in accuracy.
The first time you do additional training, you must read for at least 18
minutes; after that, there is no fixed time limit. You should read at least
one complete selection from the General Training texts, until you can
click the Finish button. If you click Cancel, your training will be lost.
Even if you’re getting good recognition accuracy, consider running
General Training again after you’ve been dictating long enough to have a
dictation style (a few weeks). Doing more training can further improve
accuracy if your speaking style has changed at all since your first
experience. Running General Training again is also a good idea if you
move to a noisier environment or change your microphone or sound card.
To run General Training:
1
From the Dragon NaturallySpeaking menu, point to Advanced and click
Train User. The General Training dialog box appears.
2
Select the text you want to read (you can select a different text than the
one you read the first time) and click Train Now.
