Optimizing Speech Recognition

Here's how to get the best results with our speech recognition.

• For best results, use a USB device: either a USB headset or USB earbuds equipped with a microphone.
• Make sure your headset's microphone is positioned beside your mouth and approximately 1 inch away from your cheek.
• During speaking exercises, wait 2 seconds after the beep to begin speaking
• Make sure your USB headset is your default sound input/output device. See the instructions for sound settings on your computer.
