Setting up/positioning your microphone
When Dragon finishes creating your user profile, it displays the
Position your microphone properly page, where it begins to lead
you through the process of setting up your microphone.
Following the wizard’s instructions, position your microphone .
Positioning the microphone correctly is important. If the
microphone is out of place, Dragon might not be able to hear
you clearly and make mistakes.
Consistent positioning is also important. Make sure that you
position the microphone the same way each time you dictate.
Here are some tips on using particular types of microphones:
Using a headset microphone
nPosition the microphone about a half-inch (approximately
the width of your thumb) from your mouth and a little off
to the side. The microphone should not touch your mouth,
but it can be almost touching your lips.
nIf you need to move the microphone out of the way, lift the
“boom” up and over your head, rather than bending it out
of position or removing the headset.
Using a handheld microphone
nHold the microphone one to three inches from your mouth
and a little off to the side.
