Using Your Motion Tablet PC
Motion Computing M1400 Tablet PC User Guide 72
NOTE: In many cases, you will not need to calibrate the microphone because the
audio system filters out many unwanted sounds. If you are dictating in an office
or recording during a meeting, the audio system may work well with no additional
calibration.
IMPORTANT: The audio system does not store calibrations. If you change to
another angle/position and then return to the previous one, you must re-calibrate
the audio system.
SETTING UP
SPEECH
RECOGNITION
Speech recognition lets you convert spoken words into typed text or into
voice commands, letting you use speech to correct errors, format text, or
control programs. This is sometimes quicker than typing or writing text.
Before you can use the speech recognizer, you must first adjust it for your
voice, pronunciation, speaking pace, and inflection. These adjustments are
made through the Speech utility on the TIP window.
Activating the Speech Recognizer
1. Open the Motion Dashboard and make sure the speakers and micro-
phone are turned on (the default settings).
2. Check that the Speaker Volume and microphone sound levels on the
Dashboard are appropriate for your setting.
3. Tap the TIP icon on the menu bar at the bottom of the Tablet PC dis-
play. The Tablet PC Input Panel appears.
4. Tap the down-arrow beside Tools to open the Tools options.
5. Tap Speech. The first time you access this
function, a Speech Recognition Enrollment
message appears. You must adjust the
microphone and train speech recognition
before continuing. Until you complete
speech training, the speech button is inac-
tive. This takes about 10 minutes.
6. Tap Next and follow the Microphone Wizard.
NOTE: To improve speech recognition, run additional speech training sessions.
Setting Up Dictation or Voice Commands
Once you activate speech recognition, depending on your work setting
(single-person office or small or large meeting) and what you plan to do
(dictate, use voice commands), you may want to change the microphone
angle from Medium (the default) to either Narrow or Wide. You may
then also want to calibrate the direction of the microphones.
7. Open the Motion Dashboard and select the desired angle.
8. (Optional) To use either Medium or Narrow Angle to dictate from a
direction other than directly in front of the display, tap Calibrate and
read through the calibration script.
