All excellent advice. There's one other thing that might help. I usually only
get this message when I've just loaded J-Say but not yet activated the
microphone. Wake it up and then put it back to sleep and it should vastly
reduce the occurance of the message.

David-this is a "bug" in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software that we were
hoping would be resolved in the 11.5 product release-but has not been. Others
may have some other tips but I would suggest some of the following would be
helpful:
1. First although it's not directly related make sure that you are "errors"
are turned off (voice command is Check Errors, then Errors On or Errors Off)
and this will eliminate the "I do not understand" message.
2. Depending on the type of microphone you may want to see where it's
currently installed to the computer and see if changing to a different port
would be helpful (obviously if you're using analog in you only get one 'in
jack' but if you are using USB you may have some options... if you are using
wireless technology you may want to repost that I have some thoughts about the
implications of this message on the wireless channel. I would particularly try
to isolate the input port from any "noisy components" like network cards, etc.
3. I'm not convinced that this doesn't occur more frequently when one has
input and output channel interference, again this might be something to look at
and consider swapping microphones depending on which model is being used.
4. Try doing a recalibration of the microphone itself.
Keep in mind that if your user is keyboard capable they can use the keystroke
to actually turn the microphone off (as opposed to the sleep state which we
call microphone off with J-Say) which would eliminate the problem altogether.
The default J-Say keystroke is Shift +f11, for this function.

I'm sure this is an easy question for all you veteran J-Say users, but how can
you turn off the notification "microphone is asleep but still capturing sound".
This seems to be coming up every few seconds and it is quite annoying. Thanks.
Also, is there a master repository anywhere of all the questions etc that have
been submitted to the J-say mailing list?
