Maintain a consistent pace and enunciate clearly. Avoid mumbling or speaking too quickly.
Use in a quiet environment or use a directional microphone. Close windows and doors if needed.
Say “period”, “comma”, “question mark” for punctuation, or enable auto-punctuation.
Some models improve with use. Correct transcription errors to help the system learn your voice.
