Chapter 14: The Dragon
Glossary
Use this glossary for a list of terms specific to Dragon.
Active vocabulary (definition)
A list of about 150,000 words that Dragon loads into your computer’s random
access memory for immediate use during dictation. These are the words that
Dragon is most likely to recognize on the first try, without requiring you to do
anything extra such as correcting the words with the Correction menu.
The number of words in the active vocabulary always remains the same. When
new words are added, words that have not been used recently are removed
from the active vocabulary, but remain on the computer's disk in the backup
dictionary.
AutoTranscribe Folder Agent (definition)
A feature of Dragon Professional, Legal and Medical editions which
automatically detects and transcribes recordings copied to a specified
directory. Use the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent to specify which Dragon User
Profile to use for transcribing the recordings found in the specified directory,
and to specify where to put the text files created from the recordings.
Backup dictionary (definition)
A store of about 150,000 additional words in Dragon's vocabulary. Atypical
large Dragon vocabulary consists of about 300,000 words and Dragon loads
about half of those it understands that you are more likely to dictate into your
computer's random access memory for immediate use. The list of words Dragon
loads into memory is called the "active vocabulary."
You can move frequently used words from the backup dictionary into the active
vocabulary or add new specialty words, proper names, acronyms, and unusual
abbreviations using any of the following methods:
