You can display the ID3 tag information in sequence by pressing or on the control button (page 79).

Introducing the voice recognition software
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a speechrecognition software application that allows you to recognize and transcribe your recorded voice in a message and convert it into a text file. For details on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, refer to the operating instructions supplied with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. For information on using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, refer to the documentation supplied with the software. For the latest version and information on the availability of Dragon NaturallySpeaking in each region, please refer to the following home page: http://www.nuance.com
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 SENSITIVITY 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.

Sound comes from the speaker even when the headphones are plugged in.
Symptom The operation indicator does not light. MEMORY FULL is displayed and you cannot start recording. FILE FULL is displayed and you cannot operate the IC recorder.

Remedy

LED is set to OFF (page67). Display the menu and set LED to ON. The memory is full. Erase some of the messages (page49) or erase all the messages after you store them on your computer. 99 messages have been recorded in the selected folder or 495 messages (when there are 5 folders) in total have been recorded. Therefore you cannot record another message, or move a message. Erase some of the messages (page49) or erase all the messages after you store them on your computer. The VOR function (page26) is activated. Set VOR to OFF in the menu (page61). An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally rubbed or scratched the IC recorder during recording so that noise was recorded. The IC recorder was placed near an AC power source, a fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during recording or playback. Plug of the connected microphone was dirty when recording. Clean the plug. The (headphones) plug is dirty. Clean the plug. MIC SENSITIVITY (microphone sensitivity) is set to LOW (L). Display the menu and set MIC SENSITIVITY to HIGH (H) (page24).

Recording is interrupted. Noise is heard.

Recording level is low.

Symptom When recording from other equipment, the input level is too strong or not strong enough. Playback speed is too fast or too slow. --:-- is displayed. --y--m--d or --:-- is displayed on the REC DATE display. There are fewer menu items displayed in the menu mode. The battery life is short.

The playback speed is adjusted in DPC. Slide the DPC (SPEED CTRL) switch to OFF or display the menu and adjust the speed in DPC again (pages42, 61). You have not set the clock (page15). The date of recording will not be displayed if you recorded the message when the clock was not set. The menu items displayed are different depending on the operation modes (stop mode, playback mode, and recording mode) (pages58, 59). The battery life on pages13 - 14 is based on playback with the volume level set to 24. The battery life may shorten depending on the operation of the IC recorder. Even if you do not use the IC recorder, the battery is consumed slightly. The battery life in this case varies depending on humidity or other environmental conditions. Usually, the battery lasts about four months. If you do not intend to use the IC recorder for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you turn the power off (page 18) or remove the battery.
There is no battery power remaining after you have left the battery inserted for long time without using the IC recorder.
Symptom The audio is weak or has poor quality when listening to the radio. The picture of your TV becomes unstable. You cannot receive FM radio stations, or a lot of static is heard.
The battery is weak. Replace the battery with new one (page 12). Move the unit away from the TV. If you are listening to an FM program near the TV with an indoor antenna, move the IC recorder away from the TV. The headphones are not connected (the headphone cord is the FM antenna). Connect the headphones to the (headphone) jack and extend the headphone cord. DX/LOCAL has been set to LOCAL. Set it to DX (page 64). You have already preset 30 FM radio stations.
