[Athen] Dragon and training

[Wink Harner]

HI Stacy,

It's probably asking you to set the noise level from the environment, set
the input level on the mike and set the recording quality level. It's not
training as such. Really amounts to a standard "mike check" you would do
on the stage before a performance (tick tick tick, "one-two-three-four...is
this thing ON???" sort of test. You should then get a screen with an option
to skip the introduction and other training.

Another really good thing to check on the tools menu is to look for the "import
vocabulary" --the program can mine your (the professor's) document & email
files for vocabulary & writing style and import directly to DNS. Gives much
faster, much more accurate recognition up front.

Does this answer your questions?

Let me know --I'm quite proficient on Dragon!

Blessings in abundance,
