BH Yes, I have had it happen to me. I was on the telephone, Dragon awoke and
transcribed my end of the call!
Will be interested in reading further findings and we’ll try and help you
resolve the problem.

Following up on Brian's note.
I get your point about Volume for JAWS. But it is at a low level already.
Didnt know that Dragon could wake/up by itself.
I will try with microphonecompletely off. Though keyboard alternative is not a
great option at the moment.
Thanks, Fiona

Hi Fiona
I don’t want to point out the obvious, but, have you tried turning down
the volume of the speech? I just wonder if jaws is being captured by the
microphone. Starting with Dragon 11.0, and quite prevalent in 11.5, when the
microphone is asleep it does tend to capture unwanted sound more than the 10 or
9 series. I don’t know why that is. Presumably if you physically turn off the
microphone with shift F11 things are OK?

Hello,
Would appreciate the list’s help. Still have problems with microphone
after upgrade. Original email below. I’ve done the microphone check and
replaced the voice profile from an earlier back-up. Please let me know your
suggestions.
Thanks,
Fiona

Hello,
I upgraded to Jaws 12.0.1170, Dragon 11.5 and J-Say 9.1 this afternoon
(running on Windows 7).
My microphone is suddenly behaving very strangely. It’s the one which
comes with Dragon and has been fine until now. Now my microphone will turn
itself on from sleep mode by itself. Also when microphone is asleep, and JAWS
is reading a document, it will suddenly turn itself on. Then it tries to
interpret background sounds or JAWS speech.
As an aside, now occasionally my laptop will suddenly try bring up the
Print Dialog window – when the microphone is asleep, and JAWS is reading.
Suggests for fixes please!
Thanks in advance,
Fiona
