Commands to control the microphone

3/15/2022

0 Comments

 
Many Dragon users experience difficulty with recognition of the microphone commands. To improve recognition, try adding a micro pause between each word. We have a tendency to run words together in a short phrase, and this can make it difficult for dragon to detect each separate word.
However don't pause too long between each word, because this can break the phrase up, and Dragon might not hear it as a command.
As with all commands, it is important to pause before and after.
  • "Wake_up"
  • "Listen_TO_me"
  • "Go_TO_sleep"
  • "Stop_listening"
In addition, emphasising the word TO in "Listen TO me" and "Go TO sleep" seems to improve recognition of the phrase.

If you experience this error message (see image below)…
the solution is to delete dragon's desktop shortcut and create a new one from the Dragon exe file which can be found at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking15\Program\natspeak.exe
