Notes
n Any Vocabularies you create are saved along with the files that are
part of your User Profile.
n Keep in mind that creating many specialized Vocabularies can make
it difficult to keep track of which words are available when you dic-
tate.
n Also keep in mind that each new Vocabulary uses hard-disk space.
Deleting Vocabularies
Additional Vocabularies can improve recognition accuracy in Dragon, but
multiple Vocabularies can take up a lot of disk space. If you no longer need a
Vocabulary, use the following procedure to delete it.
To delete a Vocabulary
1. On the Vocabulary menu of the DragonBar, click Manage Vocabularies.
2. On the Manage Vocabularies dialog box, select the Vocabulary you want to
delete and click Delete.
3. Click Close on the Manage Vocabularies dialog box.
Notes
n Deleting a Vocabulary cannot be undone.
n You cannot delete the Vocabulary that is currently in use. To remove it,
you must first open a different Vocabulary.
n Always use the Delete button to delete Vocabularies. Do not remove
Vocabulary folders from Dragon Users directory on your hard disk.
Renaming Vocabularies
If you have multiple Vocabularies, you should give them descriptive names
that help you identify their purpose.
To rename a Vocabulary
1. Say "Manage Vocabularies" or click it on the Vocabulary menu of the Drag-
onBar.
2. On the Manage Vocabularies dialog box, say or choose the name of the
Vocabulary you want to rename.
