some parts of training are the .same as those used for dictating directly to the computer using a
headset microphone.
• Even if you have already created a user sp>eech file with a headset microphone, you should acate a
separate speech file for the IC recorder to get better recognition accuracy.
Tips on using the IC recorder
When transcribing the messages recorded using the IC recorder, the following tips will
help you obtain maximum recognition accuracy.
For details on the IC recorder opieration. refer to the operating instnictions supplied with
the IC recorder.
• Set the recording mode on the IC recorder to SP.
Messages recorded in the LP mode cannot be transcribed.
• Set the microphone sensitivity (MIC SENS selector) to L(low).
• Hold the IC recorder so that the microphone is about an inch (2 - 3cm) from the comer of
your mouth, not directly in front of it. This minimizes the sound of your breath in the
recordings, enabling maximum recognition accuracy.
