Quick Tutorial
This section is designed to get you started on your way to becoming familiar with
dictating to your computer “just by talking” to it. We recommend that you complete all
the exercises in this tutorial, but if you need to stop at any time, be sure to turn the
microphone on when you begin an exercise. Do not be concerned with your immediate
dictation results; they improve as you continue through this tutorial. ViaVoice also learns
how to better recognize your speech patterns.
