About Vocabularies
Dragon uses one or more Vocabularies with your UserProfile to help it to
recognize words and phrases correctly, based not only on the sound of the
words and phrases, but also on their context.
When you create a new User Profile, you select a Base Vocabulary that Dragon
then updates as it adapts to your speech. When you create a new User Profile
or add a Vocabulary to an existing User Profile, Dragon bases the new
Vocabulary on an existing Vocabulary.
Language
The languages available for your Vocabulary. Some editions of Dragon support
multiple languages.
Vocabulary type
In most cases your User Profile will be based on the General Vocabulary, a large
Vocabulary providing excellent recognition accuracy for general, business, and
professional dictation.
The following specialized Vocabularies are also available:
n Legal (DragonLegal Edition)
A large Vocabulary providing excellent recognition accuracy for legal
terms.
n Medical (Dragon Medical Edition)
A set of specialized large medical Vocabularies providing excellent rec-
ognition accuracy for medical terms. The Vocabulary names are: Surgery,
Radiology, Pediatrics, Pathology, Orthopedics, Oncology, Obstet-
rics/Gynecology, Neurology, Mental Health, Medical Dictation, General
