Don’t worry if you make mistakes. You should try to
read exactly what you see on the screen, but it’s okay if
you read something incorrectly. The computer will
either ignore the mistake or display the yellow arrow
so you can try again.
The progress bar shows how much text you have left
to dictate. Make sure you read until you can click the
Finish button. Otherwise, the computer will not save
your training for this user. When you are done
reading, click Finish.

in version 5, or begin dictating.
