Note

The first person to use speech recognition on a computer does not have to create a speech profile. The default speech profile is created automatically as you train the engine to recognize your voice.

A speech profile stores information about the sound of your voice, word pronunciation, accent, and speaking manner, as well as background noises. Each person who uses speech recognition on a computer should create a profile.

If you use speech recognition in different environments with different background sounds, you might want to create separate profiles for each environment. Background sound might affect speech recognition accuracy.
