Notes

  • The first person to use speech recognition on a computer does not have to create a speech profile. The Default Speech Profile is created automatically as you train the engine to recognize your voice.
  • A speech profile stores information about the sound of your voice, word pronunciation, accent, and speaking manner, as well as background noises. Each person who uses speech recognition on a computer should create a profile.
  • If you use speech recognition in different environments with different background sounds, you may want to create separate profiles for each environment. Background sound may affect speech recognition accuracy.
