4). Edit Dictation File Name.

You can rename the dictation file listed in the “Dictation” tab to suit your needs on handling the dictation files within your workflow. 

Move the mouse over the file you want to rename and click [File Property]. In the pop-up window that appears, enter the new file name in the “File Name” field, and press the [Save] button.

*This operation allows you to change the File Name listed in the Dictation Tab, but the file name saved with the Backup operation will remain as the original file name.
