Chapter 12: Improving recognition accuracy
To add contact names from your sent e-mail to your Vocabulary
1. Start the Learn From Sent E-mails tool by saying "Add Contacts".
2. On the first screen of the Learn From Sent E-mails wizard, click Next.
3. On the Choose Options screen, select the e-mail programs from which you
would like to add contact names and select the "Add contact names from e-
mail to the Vocabulary" box.
4. Optionally, you can select the "Improve my speech files from my e-mail writ-
ing style" if you want Dragon to better understand your Vocabulary and
word usage by analyzing your e-mail messages. You can also have the pro-
gram rescan your sent e-mail to add new contact names since the last time
you used the Add Contacts dialog box.
5. Click Next and wait for the wizard to scan the selected e-mail programs for
contact and word usage data. When the wizard is finished, click Next again.
6. On the Add contacts to Vocabulary screen, select the words you want to
add, and click Next.
7. On the Train Words screen select the contact names for which you want to
train the pronunciation and click Next. You can also check and uncheck all
contact names to train.
8. Use the Train Words dialog box that appears to train the words you
selected.
9. When you finish training words, wait for the program to adapt your language
model. A report screen will inform you of the success of the wizard.
Notes
n (Lotus Notes only) New contact names will be detected for everyone to
whom you have sent e-mail, except those contacts to whom you have
sent Reply messages.
n Nicknames can only be added to your Vocabulary if your e-mail program
supports nicknames.
n Do not use the "Improve my speech files from my e-mail writing style" if
you write e-mail messages in foreign languages. The result of trying to
analyze a language other than the language in which you trained the
User Profile may decrease recognition accuracy.
