HINTS FOR DICTATING AND RECORDING
You may want to start recording or dictating from the Wide Angle and change
to a more-restricted angle (Narrow or Medium) if too many outside sounds are
recorded. The advantage to the Wide Angle is that no sounds will be lost if you
change your location. The disadvantage is that outside sounds may be picked
up that interfere with the recording.
You MUST recalibrate the microphones if you change from one orientation
(landscape) to another (portrait). This is because the skew angle changes and
the sound will no longer be in the angle of acceptance.
Even with the Narrow Angle setting, if a sound is loud enough and within the
angle of acceptance (no matter how distant), the sound will be picked up by
the M1400 microphones. The advantage of the M1400 is that it detects fewer
extraneous sounds than other audio systems. You can further limit the
detection of these outside sounds by turning down the microphone volume
and speaking louder; this reduces the microphones’ range and restricts their
ability to detect extraneous sounds.
The M1400 contains Motion-installed audio components. If you install a third-
party audio device (such as USB or Bluetooth), the Motion-installed audio may
not work. If this happens, you must reinstall the Motion-audio components
(that is, the SigmaTel® and Knowles Acoustics audio drivers). For information
about installing these drivers, go to the Motion website at
www.motioncomputing.com/support and search the Motion Knowledge Base
for audio drivers to download. After you install these, if you still have problems
recording, contact Motion Technical Support or the Bluetooth or USB
manufacturer’s technical support.
To improve speech recognition, run additional speech training sessions. Open
the Windows Control Panel and select Speech to perform additional speech
training. As you do this, speech recognition accuracy will gradually improve.
