Chapter 12: Improving recognition accuracy
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.
Examples:
Written form Spoken form
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. the man from uncle
Soddy-Daisy, TN Soddy Daisy Tennessee
Trenton-Mercer Airport Trenton Mercer Airport
If you want to add punctuation to a word that already exists in the Vocabulary
for use in a specific setting, you can create a new written form with the
punctuation included and a unique word or phrase for the spoken form.
For example, if you wanted Dragon to type the word "U.N.C.L.E." in the header
of your letters, the written form could be "U.N.C.L.E." and the spoken form
could be "UNCLE." That way, Dragon would still type only the word "uncle"
when you dictate it as usual, because it also exists in the Vocabulary.
Alternately, if you wanted to add punctuation to a word that already exists in
the Vocabulary every time you used that word, you would change the
properties of the existing word. For more information, see Word Properties in
the Dragon Help.
Learning from specific documents
You can use the Learn from Specific Documents wizard to personalize your
profile by adding words from specific folders or documents to your vocabulary.
Dragon analyzes the documents to update the vocabulary with information
about your word usage.
CAUTION
To maintain accuracy, Dragon must only analyze content in the language in
which your user profile was created. Be sure to select only documents in the
language of your current profile.
To add words from specific documents
1. Say "Open Accuracy Center" and then "Learn From Specific Documents" or
