Best Practices

Maximize productivity with these tips:

  • Train Your Dragon microphone : Spend a few minutes training Dragon to recognize your voice for better accuracy. Unfortunately, I have found that I have to do this every few days because of the different noise environments that I find in my home. Treasure
  • Use a Quality Microphone: A noise-canceling headset improves command recognition.
