Miscellaneous Options (for Line Input recorders only)

“When using a Line Input recorder, stop transcribing after <N> seconds

of silence” instructs Dragon NaturallySpeaking to finish transcribing a

recording after it detects a certain number of seconds of silence. You can

enter any value between 1 and 99 seconds, but it should be long enough

that Dragon NaturallySpeaking will not think you have finished when

you are only pausing. Then, when you are dictating, be sure not to pause

for more than the number of seconds you choose. At the end of your

dictation, be sure that you record silence for at least that number of

seconds.

Troubleshooting

If text doesn’t appear on the screen, check the following:

■

If you are using the Transcribe Recording dialog box, did you click

in a window after closing it? If you aren’t transcribing in the

DragonPad window, you must click in the window in which you

want the text to appear.

■

If you selected Through the Line-In Jack as your source, did you

remember to press the play button on your recorder? Is your

recorder properly connected to the computer?

■

Are you playing the right part of the recording? Listen to the source

file to make sure it contains dictation.

■

If you are using an analog recorder, have you changed the volume

setting on your recorder since running training? If so, check the

audio volume and quality again. From the NaturallySpeaking menu,

point to Advanced, and click Check Audio.

■

Is your recorder working properly? Check the power source. If you

are using a battery, make sure it is fully charged.

■

If you are transcribing a wave file, make sure the file is in the

following format: PCM, 11,025 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono.

■

If you are having difficulties transcribing text from the Dragon

recorder, consult the troubleshooting section of the online Help files

for the Voice It

Link

software. See the procedure “To install Voice

It Link (for the Dragon NaturallyMobile recorder)” on page 155 for

information on installing Voice It Link.
