• 

listen to it carefully and try to estimate whether your 
voice sounds clearly or there are a lot of reverberating 
sounds. In the latter case, try to speak not so loud or 
stay far from the microphone. In case if your voice is, 
on the contrary, too quiet, try to speak louder or closely 
to the microphone.

 

• 

when using the headset with a switch, make sure you 
turned your microphone on

 

• 

try to find more quiet place or shield the microphone 
with your hand, if there are intensive external noises 
and you cannot hear your recorded voice when 

Playback

 is on

 

• 

pronounce articles, prepositions and short words 
distinctly 

• 

if you usually speak very fast, try to speak a little 
slower, yet don’t say phrase word by word 

• 

if the device recognized the phrase you had 
pronounced, try to repeat it at the same pace and tone. 
Repeat the phrase several times. Such a training will 
let you find the optimal pronunciation pace and tone, 
thus making the device to recognize your voice better.
