Chapter 12: Improving recognition accuracy
Importing lists of words or phrases
Use the Import list of words or phrases wizard if you want to add multiple-
word phrases to your Vocabulary, even if they are used in documents that you
will process using the Learn from Specific Documents wizard. You should do
this because the Import list of words or phrases wizard adds words from
documents as phrases, not single words.
For information about how to prepare a list, see the topic Preparing documents
to add to the Vocabulary.
To import lists of words or phrases
1. Say"Accuracy Center," or click Help> Improve My Accuracy.
2. On the Accuracy Center, click or say "Import a list of words or phrases".
3. Follow the steps on the Import list of words or phrases wizard.
Adding words with the Spelling window
If Dragon misrecognizes a word, it may be that the word is not in the
program's Vocabulary. When this is the case, you can use the following
procedure to add the word so that it is recognized in the future.
To add words with the Spelling window
1. Say "Spell That," followed by the first four to six letters of the desired word.
The Spelling window opens.
2. In the the Spelling window, finish typing the word or spell it by voice.
3. If you wish to train the pronunciation of the word, click Audio> Improve Rec-
ognition of Word or Phrase and follow the instructions in the Train Words
dialog box.
Note
You cannot use the Spelling window to add a word that has hyphens or spaces.
The program recognizes each part of such a word as separate pieces. For
example, if you tried to use the Spelling window to add the name "Havisham-
Smythe," you would actually be adding the names "Havisham" and "Smythe".
The next time you spoke the name you would get "Havisham Smythe" without
the hyphen. To add such a word or name, use the Vocabulary Editor dialog box
(say Open Vocabulary Editor).
Learn From Sent E-mails
Use the Learn From Sent E-mails tool to add the names of people to whom you
have sent e-mail to your Dragon Vocabulary. You have the option to edit and
train these names and you can also have Dragon scan the contents of your
sent e-mail and add it to Dragon's Language Model.
