CHAPTER 13 Improving Accuracy run it at the end of your workday or when you don't need to use the computer for other tasks. v Click the Go button to start the Acoustic Optimizer. How often you should run the Acoustic Optimizer depends on how much you dictate. Run the Acoustic Optimizer about two weeks after you begin using Dragon NaturallySpeaking® and then once each month as you continue to use it. Perform additional training When you first started Dragon NaturallySpeaking®, you read to the computer for about five minutes to teach it the sound of your voice. Click the "Perform additional training" link in the Accuracy Center to continue this process of training the computer. The first time you perform additional training, you will need to read for about twenty minutes. For the second and subsequent times that you perform additional training, you can read for as little time as you like-even as briefly as a minute or two. If you encounter very low accuracy, perform the twenty or so minutes of additional training as soon as possible after starting to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking®. This will give the program maximum information about the sound of your voice. Then, perform brief, one- or two-minute sessions of additional training if your microphone changes, if your voice sounds a bit different than usual, or if you are getting lower accuracy than usual.
