documents, using the information in them to help improve your
accuracy.

documents that were not in the active vocabulary. If this option is checked, the Preview
Words dialog box appears after you click Add Words. The Preview Words dialog box
displays all the new words found, with a check box to the left of each word. If you do not
want to add a particular word in the list to your vocabulary, click on the box to clear the
check mark.
Add contact names to the vocabulary
If you use Lotus
®
Notes
®
, Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
, or Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
Express for your e-mail, this tool will let you add the names of the
people in your e-mail address book to your vocabulary. It can also
analyze e-mail that you’ve already sent, improving accuracy by learning
your writing style and the words you use most often. (For Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
Express, this feature is available only in Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
Professional and higher editions.)
To add contact names:
1 Click the “Add contact names to the vocabulary” link in the Accuracy
Center window. (To display the Accuracy Center, click Accuracy Center

How the Add Words from Documents tool improves
accuracy
This vocabulary tool uses your processed documents in several
ways. Analyzing your writing changes the program’s expectations
about how often you say different words and phrases. For example,
if you’re a teacher who often uses the word “grades,” Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
will be much less likely to type “graves” by
mistake. The software also finds and adds words from your
documents that it does not already have in its vocabulary.
