APPENDIX: Special Considerations

Appendix. Special Considerations

for Speech Recognition and

Dictation Applications

When upgrading to a new microphone to be used with a speech recognition or
dictation application, always create a new “user” file. For large vocabulary
applications, this usually involves running the Audio Setup Wizard and the General
Training portion of the program to adjust the system for the microphone. It is
important to position the microphone properly for best performance with these
applications. Always position the Monaural Mac Headset microphone
approximately a thumb width away from, and at the corner of, your mouth. This
will result in the best possible performance from the application.
