Notes
n When you train words or phrases, be careful to speak in your normal
voice. Avoid the natural tendency to over enunciate when speaking single
words or short phrases as it could actually reduce recognition accuracy.
n When you train a command using the Train Words dialog box, you add to
the acoustic data stored for later use by the Acoustic Optimizer. This
data, including your pronunciation and the acoustic differences between
the trained correction and the misrecognized word or phrase, are used by
the Acoustic Optimizer to enhance recognition accuracy.
Training individual words and phrases
If Dragon is not recognizing certain words or phrases, and you have tried
correcting the misrecognition at least twice, then you should consider training
that word or phrase to teach Dragon exactly how you pronounce it.
The following procedures describe two different ways to train words or phrases:
To train individual words and phrases immediately after dictating them
1. Correct the misrecognized word or phrase you want to train and say "Train
That."
2. Click Go in the Train Words dialog box and record your speech saying the
word or phrase you want to train.
3. When you have finished recording the text, click Done.
To train individual words and phrases at any time
1. Say "Open Vocabulary Editor", or click Vocabulary > Open Vocabulary Editor
on the DragonBar.
2. In the Vocabulary Editor, say or click Train.
3. Type the word or phrase you want to train in the Training dialog box.
4. Click Go in the Train Words dialog box and record your speech saying the
word or phrase you want to train.
5. When you have finished recording the text, click Done.
Using punctuation with written and spoken
forms
If the written form of a word contains any punctuation, you should provide a
spoken form so that there is no doubt as to how the item will be pronounced. Do
not use abbreviations, symbols or punctuation in the spoken form.
