Record dictations
Define settings prior to recording
SpeechAir allows you to record high-quality single-speaker dictations as well as multi-speaker dictations. We recommend using the directional microphone for single-speaker dictations in noisy environments and when sending dictation to speech recognition software. Set the recording quality for your dictation and choose between the audio formats WAV (PCM) and DS2 (DSS Pro).
DS2 is preset as the default audio format, but you can always change the audio format in Settings > Audio Settings > Audio Format. You can only change the function button assignment if your slider is set to International.

Troubleshooting
You recorded a dictation with an external microphone and connected it to the wrong jack (ie headphone jack). The device is connected to the wrong micro-USB port (ie micro-USB port for data transfer) on the docking station. You are using a different micro USB cable than the one that originally came with the device.
Detach the device from the docking station and connect it to the micro USB charging port marked 5V DC on the docking station. An obstacle is blocking the signal between the device and the Wi-Fi access point. Check if there are any obstacles between the device and the Wi-Fi access point.
The micro USB cable is connected to the wrong micro USB port (i.e. the micro USB charging port) on the docking station. Disconnect the micro USB cable from the docking station and connect it to the micro USB data transfer port marked on the docking station.
