Using the Dragon NaturallyMobile
recorder as a microphone
If you have a Dragon NaturallyMobile recorder, you can use it as a microphone
when it is connected to the computer. This feature is convenient for editing your
transcribed text by voice.
To use the recorder as a microphone:
1
Open the user you created for the Dragon NaturallyMobile recorder, if it is not
already open.
2
Make sure the recorder is connected to the serial port of your computer.
3
Click the Microphone button on the DragonBar so the microphone is on ( ).
4
Wait until the recorder display reads “Mic On.” This takes about two or three
seconds after you click the Microphone button.
5
Begin speaking, holding the built-in microphone of the recorder almost
touching the corner of your mouth and a bit to the side. Do not hold the
recorder so that the microphone is directly in front of your mouth.
6
When you have finished, click the Microphone button again so the microphone
is off.
Turning off the microphone in this way does not turn off the recorder. To conserve your
batteries, turn off the recorder by pressing the Power button.
