1 3 Using Portable Recorders (Preferred and Professional)
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
154
Some editions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking allow you to create and train users with multiple
dictation sources. For example, with a single set of user files you can dictate with a headset
microphone, an array microphone, or a portable recorder. This way you can keep the same custom
vocabulary and training, but use the dictation style most convenient for you at that moment. For more
information, see “Creating Multiple Dictation Sources” on page 140.
To create a user:
1
From the NaturallySpeaking menu on the DragonBar, click or say “Open User.”
2
In the Open User dialog box, click or say “New.” The New User Wizard guides
you through the steps of creating a user. As you complete the steps, click Next
whenever you are ready to continue.
3
On the Create User screen, enter a unique name for the user. Then select the
appropriate recorder type from the Dictation source list.
Use the following table as a guide for selecting a Dictation source and deciding what
to do next.
