TRANSCRIBING A RECORDING
1. Connect your digital recorder to the computer.
2. Make sure that the intended user profile and dictation source are selected. (You
can see them on the expanded DragonBar.)
3. Launch the transcription: from the DragonBar’s Audio menu, choose Transcribe
recording. (Alternatively, if the Extras bar is displayed, you can click its Transcribe
button.)
4. Specify the recording to transcribe: enter the file path or use the Browse button to
navigate to the file, then click ‘ Transcribe ’. If using the Sony Digital Voice Editor ,
click the button labeled “Sony Digital Voice Editor software” and select the desired
file(s) in the Voice Editor’s window, then select Voice Recognition from the File menu.
Important: By default, the transcription will go into DragonPad (Dragon’s word proces-
sor), and Dragon will recognize only commands from its Restricted Set which includes
“caps on,” “all caps”, and other dictation commands . Click the Advanced button if you
wish to change this (for instance, for the transcription to go into a window of your choice).
Be sure to see the Help for details.
CORRECTING RECOGNITION ERRORS IN A TRANSCRIPTION
Dragon can learn from its errors IF you correct them. This is very important, and you
can choose how and when to do it. Consider the Correction button and the Correction
hotkey , as well as the “Double-click to correct” option. Be sure to see the Help for details.
Remember that creating a good profile, speaking clearly , and using the Accuracy Center
tools will prevent many errors!
Dragon can refine your user profile over time. When you exit Dragon (which we suggest
doing at least once a day), it will ask whether you want to save the changes made to your
profile.
