    Please be aware that it is important to keep the correct distance to the microphone. Positioning the microphone correctly is one of the most important things you can do to enhance recognition accuracy.
    – Position the microphone element to the side of your mouth and about 2.5 cm away to avoid noise from breathing.
    – Don’t breath directly into the microphone.
    – Please ensure that the mute mode is not active.

    Volume Level Indicator:
    Ensure that the level indicator stays mainly in the zone, which is marked green while speaking into the microphone.

    Important Notes:
    Please take care that the dictation surrounding is as quiet as possible. E.g. close the window to keep out traffic noise. Background noises can have a negative effect on the recognition quality. Some devices also provide microphones with an ambient noise filter.

    During dictation or file recognition, please pay attention to the following:
    – Do not disconnect, plug in, or change headsets / microphones.
    – Do not remove, plug in or change USB sticks or other external devices – Do not change volume / sound settings.
    – Before starting the recognition of a larger audio file, please check the Windows power-saving options. No sleep mode should be triggered, in case that the mouse will not be moved for a longer time.
