Step 1 – Record Your Speech into Voice Recorder

To convert your speech into text using Dragon dictation capabilities, you need to first record your voice into a voice recorder. But, before you do that, you need to make sure that the voice recorder is working well enough and it can be compatible to the Dragon software.

Now, the next step would be to transfer this speech to the PC, so Dragon can use it for the dictation.

Note – You can also perform live recording and as you’ll speak, Dragon will write the words instantly. For that, you need to make sure that your recorder and microphone is connected to the PC.

Step 2 – Transfer Recording to Dragon Software

There are multiple ways through which you can transfer the data to Dragon software. A few of them are listed below –

#1. Usually, the digital transfer can be done through a data cable, running from a connector on a digital recorder to a connector (usually a USB) on your PC.

Through this connection, you can copy the voice recording to the computers’ hard drive. To know further on how to develop a connection between recorder and PC, check the instruction manual of the recorder as the process may vary for different brands.

#2. Another way to transfer the data is through the memory card connected with the recorder. You can remove this memory card and insert it in the PC to copy its data.

#3. The third option to digitally transfer the data from recorder to PC is to develop a Line-In connection which can benefits users in many ways. 

So, this is how Dragon will have access to your speech and it will be able to convert your voice into text easily.
