Setting up speech recognition
For full performance of Dragon speech recognition, make sure not to have too many programs running in the background at the same time. To use Dragon NaturallySpeaking for speech recognition, a Dragon user profile with a valid username and dictation source is required. User profiles can be stored either on the local hard drive (C:) or on a server where they can be accessed over a network connection (roaming profiles).
If you install the Dragon speech recognition software separately, we recommend that you manage all Dragon-related settings (for example, user profiles or vocabulary) through the DragonBar and not through SpeechExec or the SpeechExec speech recognition recorder. Enable the speech recognition features in the SpeechExec Settings menu under Settings > General settings > Speech recognition >. To improve your user profile, train vocabulary from typical documents in General settings > Speech recognition.
Activate the use of templates under Settings > General settings > Speech recognition > Templates if you want the text to be inserted into a predefined text document. Enable the automatic collection of corrected dictation files for customization under Settings > General Settings >. Speech Recognition > Customization to make customizations on Dragon user profiles based on the corrected speech recognition documents.
Enable automatic start of speech recognition queue whenever dictation files are downloaded from Pocket Memo or SpeechAir recorder. Next, in DPM or SpeechAir Wizard go to the USB download section and enable Dragon speech recognition. When using this option, make sure that the SR (speech recognition) delivery option is also enabled in Memo Pocket and the SpeechAir dictation recorder application.

3 Click the Add to Dragon Speech Recognition Queue button on the toolbar to place the selected files in the Speech Recognition Queue in the Recognition and Customization Queue window. 4 Click the Start Recognition Queue button in the Recognition & Customization Queue panel to start the speech recognition process. XWhen the speech recognition process is complete, the dictation file is moved to the Completed Dictations folder and the status is set to Correction Pending.
The name of the user profile in Dragon NaturallySpeaking must be identical to the SpeechExec author name and the author name used for recordings on a dictation recorder. The speech recognition software cannot recognize dictations if the Dragon profile name and the author name are different.
