How to dictate
 |
|
Dictate everything you want included in the report. |
|
|
We recommend you to: |
|
|
• Dictate grammatically |
|
|
• Dictate clearly |
|
|
• Dictate punctuation |
|
|
• Dictate with a natural pace. It is important to pronounce all syllables. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try to avoid: |
|
|
• Hesitations, for example, um, ah |
|
|
• Interruptions |
|
|
• Making unnatural pauses, for example in the middle of a date |
|
|
• Superfluous speech, for example, thank you this is the end of the report |
|
|
• Over enunciation |
|
|

|
Keep your style constant; this way the system can adapt to you. If you speak in a way unnatural to you (for example, more slowly and with emphasis, because you think you could facilitate accurate recognition), you will be adapting to the system, not the other way around.

|
Keep your dictation volume constant, for example, do not move the microphone or your head. If you want to change the volume at which you speak, make sure to run the Audio Wizard again. |
|
|
If dictation is interrupted or you need to pause for any reason you should stop the microphone until you are ready to start again. If you pause for a moment to plan your next sentence you do not need to press the Stop button. |
|
|
Do not stop in the middle of a phrase. A logical place to pause is, of course, at periods and commas. |
