Troubleshooting
If text doesn’t appear on the screen, check the following:
■
If you are using the Transcribe a Recording dialog box, did you click
in a window after closing it? If you aren’t transcribing in the
DragonPad window, you must click in the window in which you
want the text to appear.
■
If you selected Through the Line-In Jack as your source, did you
remember to press the play button on your recorder? Is your
recorder properly connected to the computer?
■
Are you playing the right part of the recording? Listen to the source
file to make sure it contains dictation.
■
If you are using an analog recorder, have you changed the volume
setting on your recorder since running training? If so, check the
audio volume and quality again. From the Tools menu on the
DragonBar, click Accuracy Center, then “Check your audio
settings.”
■
Is your recorder working properly? Check the power source. If you
are using a battery, make sure it is fully charged.
■
If you are transcribing a wave file, make sure the file is in the
following format: PCM, 11.025 or 22.050 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono.
■
If you are having difficulties transcribing text from the Dragon
NaturallyMobile
™
recorder, consult the troubleshooting section of
the online Help files for the Voice It
®
Link software. See the
procedure “To install Voice It Link (for the Dragon NaturallyMobile
recorder):” on page 190 for information on installing the Voice It
®
Link software.
Correcting mistakes
After Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
transcribes your dictation, make sure
you correct any mistakes. To help you check for mistakes, you can play
back your recorded voice as you read what Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
transcribed. Listening to your dictation as you read the transcription will
help you identify misrecognized words or phrases. For the easiest ways
to proofread and correct your dictation, see “Proofreading with a
recorder” on page 148.
