The problem that you are facing is very common when it comes to using any version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Since the program requires a decent quality microphone to be used while dictating the documents, emails, or giving some voice commands, many times the microphone also catches the hissing noise that is automatically generated due to the powered on ceiling or table fan, a room cooler, or a noisy air-conditioner.
Since Dragon NaturallySpeaking is unable to transcribe the hissing noise, it accepts it as ‘Is’. Because Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 has a built-in smart feature that keeps learning the vocabulary on its own, it learns the hissing sound as well. After it has learned the sound, every time the microphone catches any said sound while Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 is active, it automatically adds the sound assuming that it is something that the user has said and is to be typed as a dictation.
Since the hissing sound is merged into the Dragon NaturallySpeaking user profile, it is really a tedious job to remove this instance from the program in order to allow the application to forget the noise. In such situations, it is always a good idea to delete the existing user profile and create a new one right from the scratch.
In this tutorial you will learn how to delete an existing user profile and create a new one. Here’s what you need to do:
