To give Dragon acoustic training, you read from one of several texts.
When you choose your text, you can read that text from the screen, or print a copy of it. When you're ready, you simply read the text aloud.
Dragon indicates when it has enough information to adapt your user profile. Adapting your user profile can take between 10 minutes to an hour.
The reading can be completed in four minutes, but you can take as long as you need, including long pauses.
