About personalizing your Vocabulary
You can personalize a Vocabulary to more closely match your writing style and
to recognize any special words which you dictate. You can do this in several
ways, by adding words or phrases, or by adding entire documents that you
write or lists of words that you prepare, and by using Smart Format Rules.
Dragon can add these new words to the Vocabulary and update the Vocabulary
with information about your word usage. This improves the likelihood that
Dragon will correctly recognize what you say.
You can use the following methods to add or delete words in the Vocabulary.
Adding words or phrases to your Vocabulary
Learning from specific documents
Importing lists of words or phrases
Adding words by spelling
Deleting words
Using the Don't Recognize That Word Command
Notes
n You are not required to train new words because Dragon automatically
"guesses" the pronunciations based on their spelling. If, however, your
new words are not recognized correctly, you should train them.
n Be sure to save your User Profile after adding new words or the new
words will not be saved.
