Stage 3  
  • Essentials for simple dictation.
  • This stage introduces the most important commands and training for basic dictation, the type of dictation you will probably use most frequently with Naturally Speaking. 
  • The main goal of this stage is to accomplish almost 100% accuracy and a high words per minute speed or rate of dictation.  
  • In this stage you will train your voice files further, refine your voice files to achieve high accuracy, become familiar with the program and feel comfortable with dictation principles.
  • Use some of the built in exercises as well as exercises or work of your own to practice the principles in this section.
