Improving Accuracy
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 125
useful when adding words from employee lists, product code lists, and similar
documents.
To add a list of words:
1 Create a text (.txt) file and enter each word or phrase you want to add to the
vocabulary on a separate line. Make sure words are spelled correctly. Each
word, phrase or name that you add must be on a separate line.
2 From the Accuracy Center, click or say “Add a list of words to your vocabulary.”
You can optionally choose to preview the words to add and find words with
unknown capitalization. Click Next to continue.
3 Click Add File and select the.TXT file that contains the new words you want
to add.
4 Click Next. Dragon NaturallySpeaking will add the words in the document you
selected.
5 If you want Dragon NaturallySpeaking to add words from more documents,
repeat steps 3 and 4.
View or edit your vocabulary
The Vocabulary Editor shows you all the active words (the most commonly used
words) in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking vocabulary. You can open Vocabulary
Editor to find out whether a word is in the active vocabulary. If it’s not there, you
can add it. If it is, you can create a different spoken form.
You can also use the Vocabulary Editor
to:
■ Add words that are spoken one way but written a different way. This feature
lets you add a word that, for example, types your phone number whenever you
say “phone number line.”
■ Change the formatting properties of a word, such as whether Dragon
NaturallySpeaking should type a space before or after the word. You can do this
by using the Word Properties dialog box. See “Changing word properties” on
page 128.
By choosing the appropriate option from the Display list, you can view:
■ All words: displays all the words in the current vocabulary.
■ Custom words only: displays only words added to the vocabulary by the user.
■ Words with spoken forms only: displays only words with spoken forms that are
different from their written forms.
■ Words with formatting properties only: displays only words with special
formatting properties that influence how they appear in the transcription of
dictated text.
