It is important to place the unit in a proper position to achieve maximum recognition precision during the transcription process.

• Place the unit 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) away from your mouth.
  • To prevent the microphone from picking up your breathing, do not place the microphone right in front of your mouth. Hold it slightly to the side.
• When speaking, do not touch the unit and do not breathe into the microphone.
