Getting Started and Creating a User Profile

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is speaker-dependent software. It relies on information specific to you, including

what words and phrases you use often, how you sound, what audio device you use, and what software

settings you have. It stores this data in a set of files, referred to collectively as your “user profile” or just

“profile.”

Each person who uses Dragon must have his or her own profile. Your profile is very important. The more

personalized it is, the better your experience will be. To have the best possible start, it’s worth creating your

profile carefully (or upgrading it from a previous version of Dragon). As you will see later, there are many ways

for your profile to be refined over time.

This lesson will cover creating (or upgrading) a user profile. But first, let’s address what Dragon needs in order

to get good audio input from you. Here are important notes about placing your microphone and connecting it

to your computer.

Positioning and connecting your microphone

If using a headset, adjust it so that it feels stable and comfortable on your head

(it should not press your temple or glasses). The microphone’s listening side must

face the side of your mouth (not the front). It must not touch facial hair or catch

breathing sounds. (On standard headsets, bend the “boom” if needed.)

Most headset models can be rotated, so you can place the microphone on either

the left or the right side of your face.

You might experiment a bit to find what works best for you. Then, whenever you

use Dragon, aim for consistency in your microphone position.

IMPORTANT:

 Noise-canceling microphones only listen on one side. The listening side is

often marked by a dot or the word TALK, which may not be visible unless you

lift the foam cover slightly. Check that this side is parallel to your face, not

tilted.



If you want to by

pass your computer’s sound system, you can use a USB

microphone, or plug your regular microphone into a USB adapter.



If your computer has only one audio jack (socket) and you want to use a

regular two-plug microphone, you must use a USB adapter or a Y-shaped

adapter.

 When you plug a microphone or adapter into your PC, be sure to push all the way into the audio socket or

USB port.

 If you want to test your microphone independently of Dragon, you can use Sound Recorder, a Windows

accessory accessible from the Start menu.
