Saving your dictation in SpeakPad
Before saving your dictation, decide if you want it saved as a recorded speech
session, which is your dictated text along with recorded audio of the dictated
words, or saved simply as text. To maximize your recognition accuracy,
correct errors in your dictated document before saving it.
Although the speech-session data uses a large amount of storage on your
disk—approximately 750 KB for every minute of dictation—you should save
this data if you plan to continue dictating your document or, alternatively,
want to correct and edit the document later. You do not need to save your
speech-session data if you have already corrected the recognition errors in the
dictation.
