Dragon NaturallySpeaking Set-up
If using a new TravelMike with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you have several options in terms of how to
integrate your microphone with Dragon:
c.
Simply substituting the TravelMike for your old mic and running the audio set-up wizard
d.
Adding the TravelMike as a new “source” to an existing profile
e.
Creating an entirely new user profile based on the TravelMike
Of these options, we consider the middle option the best, both because it allows you to save all
the personalized words and commands in your current profile, and yet still afford you the
opportunity (based on the version of Dragon you are using) to do some limited reading and
training with the new microphone.
Here is the basic process:
Dragon 11 or 12
Dragon 13
1. Select Dragon > Open User ..
2.
On the far right of the Open User
dialog, click on “Source” and then
“New”
3.
Select the new source (TravelMike)
from those listed and follow
subsequent instructions
1. Select Manage Dictation Sources from the
“Profile” menu.
2. Click “Add new dictation source”
3. Follow all subsequent instructions
