Note:
The accuracy of speech recognition depends on the level of external noise. It is
best to ensure silence in the room where you practice your pronunciation.
To achieve the best results, please consider the following.
1. Ensure the room is relatively quiet.
2. Choose an optimum distance of 3 – 6 inches (8 – 15 cm) from the built-in microphone,
taking your normal speaking volume into consideration.
3. Do not say unrelated words or phrases into the microphone.
4. Try to say phrases distinctly and plainly without clipping syllables.
5. Avoid carelessness in pronunciation (smacking of lips, loudly inhaling or exhaling,
mumbling, interruptions, repetitions, etc.).
