Tools for greater accuracy
Accuracy Center
The Accuracy Center offers one-stop shopping for all the tools available
to improve recognition accuracy: audio settings, additional training,
adding words to the vocabulary, and the new Acoustic Optimizer can all
be found in this central location. See page 162.
The Accuracy Assistant, which is part of the Accuracy Center, guides the
user in selecting the right tool for improving accuracy. See page 162.
Acoustic Optimizer
After you have used Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
for a while and some
recognition errors may have occurred, the Acoustic Optimizer is a tool
that lets Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
process all the recorded data it has
collected during training and while corrections have been made. It learns
from this data in one sweep, which is much more powerful than gradual
adaptation from each correction. Start the optimizer before you leave for
a meeting and come back to improved recognition. See page 163.
Add contact names and vocabulary
Add the contact names from your address book to your vocabulary file.
You can also scan your sent e-mail to teach Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
the words you use. See page 170.
Nothing But Speech (“NBS”)™
The Nothing But Speech technology filters out some of the fillers
between dictation, such as “uhms” and “ahs,” to help avoid insertion of
unwanted words.
Easier to use
Faster, easier correction
A new, streamlined correction interface makes it easier than ever to
proofread and correct your work. The improved Correction menu is now
available wherever you can select text by voice. See page 38.
Correct whichever way you want—by voice, by mouse and keyboard, or
using any combination of these. Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will still
learn from your corrections, even if you just type them over the words
you’ve selected.
