2 Disconnect the IC recorder from the
USB connector of the computer.
You can use the transcribing feature only when you have installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking Select or Professional Edition (not supplied) on your computer. To install Dragon NaturallySpeaking, your computer should meet the specified system requirements. You can transcribe the following messages saved in your IC recorder or on your computer; ST, STSP, STLP or SP recording mode messages (MP3 files) 44.1/16/11kHz 16-bit WAV files saved on your computer You cannot transcribe a message recording the voices of more than one person.
Creating a user file adapted to your recorded speech (Training)

What is Training?

Before you can transcribe recorded messages using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you must create a user file specifically adapted to the sound of your recorded speech. This procedure is called training. When training is complete, Dragon NaturallySpeaking creates a user speech file containing information about your recorded speech. Refer to the operating instructions or the help supplied with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, as some parts of training are the same as those required for dictating directly to the computer using a headset microphone. Even if you have already created a user speech file with a headset microphone, you should create a separate speech file for the IC recorder to get better recognition accuracy.
Tips on using the IC recorder
When transcribing messages recorded using the IC recorder, the following tips will help you obtain maximum recognition accuracy. Set REC MODE to ST, STSP, STLP or SP in the menu. When creating a user speech file (training), set REC MODE to the mode you normally use for voice recognition software. Set MIC SENS to LOW (L) in the menu. Hold the IC recorder firmly and start recording. Hold the IC recorder so that the microphone is about an inch (2 - 3cm) from the corner of your mouth, not directly in front of it. This minimizes the sound of your breath in the recordings, enabling maximum recognition accuracy. Note
Avoid recording in a noisy place, such as on a subway platform, in order to obtain maximum recognition accuracy.
Playing Back Transferred MP3 Files Using the IC Recorder
You can play back MP3 files on your computer using the IC recorder. The maximum playback time (tracks*), when playing MP3 files using the IC recorder, is as follows.

Using the IC Recorder as a USB Mass Storage Device
When the IC recorder is connected to your computer directly or using a USB connection support cable, image data or text data on the computer, as well as messages or files recorded using the IC recorder can be temporarily stored in the IC recorder. Your computer must meet the operating system requirements and port environment described on page 41 to use the IC recorder as a USB mass storage device.

Tips You can enter title name or artist name, etc., into MP3 files as ID3 tag information. The ID3 tag information can be displayed on the IC recorder.
