Click on the “+” sign to create a new task (automated process). You will see the window

Click on the small box with “…” to the right of the Input directory area and Output
directory area to assign the fold to be monitored. The input directly folder is ideally a
folder on your digital device, so you’ll need to have your device docked in order to
navigate to this. The Output directory folder is the folder in which you want the
completed transcription to be placed. A more detailed description of each field is shown
below:

Under dictation source, be sure you pick the source which was set up and prepared for
your digital recorder.
Initiating Auto-Transcription: The only requirements are:
1. You have configured the Auto-Transcribe Agent Folder as shown above
2. The Dragon program is turned OFF (seems counter-intuitive, but this is a background process
and depends upon Dragon being turned off)
3. You launch the program (from the start menu or tool bar if you have saved it there). Once
launched, you can keep this running in the background as long as you want and it will be sitting
in “idle” waiting for a new file to show up in the input directory (folder).
Notes on using the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent (borrowed from the Dragon help menu):
The supported file formats for recording device files are .WAV, .WMA, .MP3, .DSS, and
.DS2.
The supported output file formats are Plain Text (.TXT), Rich Text Format (.RTF), Word
Document (.DOC).
For Dragon to transcribe .MP3 files, your computer must have software installed that
plays .MP3 files; for example, the Windows Media Player. If your computer can't play
.MP3 files, you may receive an error when trying to transcribe an .MP3 file.
You can only use unencrypted .dss or .ds2 files with the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent.
