Spelling words
If a word or phrase is not currently in Dragon's Vocabulary, you can spell it in
the Spelling window, and add it to Dragon's Vocabulary. Words you spell
directly into the document, while the Spelling window is closed, are not added
to the Vocabulary. In addition, you can teach (or "train") Dragon to recognize
how you pronounce the word or phrase you spell.
In some cases, you may not know that a word is not in the active Vocabulary
until Dragon fails to recognize it correctly. Whether you are spelling a word as
part of your dictation or correcting a misrecognition, the process is the same.
To spell a word or phrase
When you want to add a new word to the Vocabulary, say "Spell" or "Spell
That" (immediately after a recognition error) and the characters of the word or
words you want to spell. Say the characters continuously and quickly, not one
at a time.
Note
The "Scratch That" command is not available in the Spelling window. If you
need to correct a dictation error while you are using the Spelling window, you
must use the Backspace key or Delete command.
For a list of the characters you can spell with the"Spell" or "Spell That"
commands, see Spelling characters.
If you use the "Spell That" command, saying the characters immediately is
optional; you can simply wait for the Spelling window, to open before you begin
spelling. Spelling words while the Spelling window is open allows you to confirm
that the word is correct before it appears in your document and allows you to
train the pronunciation of the word. For information on training a word that you
have spelled, see the topic Training words from the Spelling window.
For previously dictated text, select the word or words you want to correct, then
say "Spell That" followed immediately by letters.
Notes
n Normally, the Spelling window, does not appear when you use the "Spell"
command. You can make it appear by selecting the "Spell commands
bring up Spelling window" option on the Correction tab of the Options
dialog box.
n While you are spelling words, you must say "cap" before each character
you want to capitalize. Pause briefly after saying the capital letter and
before you say the next letter.
n You can say "Double" before any alphabetic character to enter two of the
same characters. For example, say "Double a" to enter "aa." You can also
say "Double Zulu" to enter "zz." You cannot, however, say "Double u" to
