Chapter 12: Improving recognition accuracy
n If you create a User Profile on a dual core machine that uses a custom
vocabulary, make sure that the User Profile uses the BestMatch IV
speech model (BestMatch IV has the greatest recognition accuracy on
dual-core systems with more than 2 GB of RAM). To check this, select
the Advanced button on the Creating a User Profile screen of the New
User Profile wizard and make sure that BestMatch IV is selected.
Exporting Vocabularies
You can share Vocabularies among different User Profiles by first exporting a
Vocabulary from one User Profile and then importing it to a new User Profile.
Use the following procedure to export a Vocabulary.
To export a Vocabulary
1. Create a folder in which to save the exported Vocabulary files (this step is
optional).
2. Open the User Profile and the Vocabulary(s) you want to export as follows:
i. Click Profile> Open User Profile on the DragonBar.
ii. Select the User Profile you want to export and click Open.
3. Say "Manage Vocabularies" or click Vocabulary> Manage Vocabularies on
the DragonBar.
4. On the Manage Vocabularies dialog box, select the Vocabulary you want to
export and then click or say "Export."
5. Locate and open the folder where you want to save the file and then click or
say "Save." Dragon gives Vocabulary files the extension ".Top."
6. Click or say "Close" on the Manage Vocabularies dialog box to close it.
Notes
n Vocabularies can be shared only by exporting and importing them. It is
not possible to share them by copying Vocabulary folders from one User
Profile to another.
n When the Vocabulary is imported, it can be renamed.
n Exporting a Vocabulary creates a copy of the six files that make up the
Vocabulary in the new location. All six files have the same name but dif-
ferent extensions. When importing a Vocabulary, select only the Vocab-
ulary file with the extension .TOP.
