Before you begin using BetterAccent Tutor please make sure that a
microphone on your computer is setup properly.
The easiest way to check that computer's microphone works
correctly is to launch Microsoft Sound Recorder Start->Programs->Accessories->Multimedia->Sound Recorder
Record a phrase, e.g. "one, two, three" or
"testing, testing, testing". Stop the recording and play it back.
If the recording is clean, you can proceed.
If you are unable to record your voice, check that the microphone
is properly connected to a microphone jack in the sound card.
