  • Check that Dragon's microphone is on (as opposed to off or asleep). See the section below.
  • If you are using an external microphone, check that your microphone is properly plugged into your computer.
    If you are using a laptop with a docking station, try connecting your microphone to the laptop instead of the docking station, or vice versa.
    If you are using a USB microphone, connect it directly to the computer's USB port and not a USB extension or hub.
  • Run Dragon's sound system check: say 'Check Audio' (or 'Switch to DragonBar', then 'Settings', then 'Microphone', then 'Check Microphone'). If your audio signal level is low, more memory is used to recognize your speech and Dragon will run more slowly.
  • Make sure the window in which you want to dictate is active. The active window can change when you use another application or save your profile. A window or dialog box must be active for you to dictate into it.
  • Make sure your microphone is turned on and not muted.
  • Make sure you have the latest audio drivers for your device. Check your device manufacturer's Web site for updates.

If Dragon doesn't always respond

  • Make sure your device is right in front of you when you speak.
  • Make sure it's reasonably quiet where you are, and that Dragon isn't hearing background voices, music players or TVs. Less background noise is better.
  • If Dragon misunderstood something you said or did not respond, try repeating what you said. Speak clearly at the type of volume level you would in a typical conversation.

If you are experiencing 'clipping'

Clipping occurs when you dictate and Dragon's volume meter rises into the red dot range. This can occur when the Automatically adjust the microphone level as I speak option is disabled. To enable this setting:

Power
  1. Select Settings>Microphone>Choose Microphone.

    The Choose a Microphone dialog box opens.
