Re: What to do if you are using Windows10 and Check Microphone does not work

Hi Ross

?

We are talking here about the command, check microphone. Is this the command which is sometimes working and sometimes not?

?

Regarding Dragon being a little behind the dictation, do you mean that it is taking some time to echo the text back? This could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe Windows is download an update in the background, or it could be that the PC is just being bogged down with doing something else and isn’t processing the dictation fast enough. I hope that you are dictating four or five words at a time, listening back to what is being said, then proceeding onto the next four or five words. This is the best way of getting responsive and consistent echo back.

Hello Brian, I am using Windows 11 and have experienced the intermittent issue of not hearing "microphone on"

Being announced. I have not yet reported because every time it happens, it works again for a while. However, it definitely happens a good percentage of the time. I am also noticing that, intermittently, Dragon will just stall or be very far behind the dictation. Sometimes I need to restart Dragon. Please let me know what you think I should do.

?

If using Windows10, in some situations the microphone status was not being detected with the Check Microphone command. This only affects some Windows10 machines, not all. Windows11 is fine. The cause of this has not been determined, but as a safeguard, if running Windows10 we are falling back to the older method for detecting this which worked for many years. If using Windows11, we use the new method. You only need to reinstall the product if using Windows10 and this command does not work.

?

You have two choices.

You can download J-Say again using the installer you were provided with upon purchase.

Alternatively, contact Hartgen Consultancy for assistance and the relevant change can be made.
