Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 75
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
types a name incorrectly, correct it by
keyboard or by voice (see “Correcting and Editing” on page 37). The
program will add the name to its vocabulary.
If the program continues to type a name incorrectly after you’ve
corrected it several times, train the word individually using the Train
Word dialog box. See “Training a word or command” on page 178.
Dictating abbreviations and
acronyms
Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
knows many common abbreviations (such as
NYC and BBC) and acronyms (such as NATO). To dictate an
abbreviation or acronym, just say it as you normally would.
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
types the full word instead of the
abbreviation or acronym, enters the wrong word, or includes incorrect
punctuation, just correct it in your document by voice or by keyboard.
