3) Select the microphone you want to use > Click the Configure button > The Speech Recognition window will open.

4) Click “Set Up Microphone” (Note: this tool is designed to optimize for speech recognition, but using this will configure your microphone better for your voice.)

5) In the Setup Wizard select the kind of microphone you want to configure > Click Next

6) After this, a screen will appear that gives you information concerning how to use your particular microphone.
