Run the Vocabulary Optimizer
The Vocabulary Optimizer analyzes your writing style to increase your recognition
accuracy during dictation. This tool scans the following for appropriate words to use
when building the vocabulary:
■ Documents in your My Documents directory. This includes Microsoft Word,
Corel WordPerfect, text and rich text files (.rtf).
■ E-mail you have sent from Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and
Lotus Notes.
To start the Vocabulary Optimizer:
1 On the Tools menu of the DragonBar, click or say “Accuracy Center.”
2 In the Accuracy Center click or say "Run the Vocabulary Optimizer." This
displays the Vocabulary Optimizer dialog box:
3 Select:
■ E-mail to have Dragon NaturallySpeaking build a language model from the
contents of your sent e-mail, so that it can better recognize the phrasing and
word order you typically use in your communication.
■ Documents to have Dragon NaturallySpeaking build a language model from
the contents of any Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, text and rich text
format file in your MyDocuments folder.
4 Click or say “Start” to continue. A status bar displays while the Vocabulary
Optimizer scans your system.
5 Click or say “Done” when the Vocabulary Optimizer finishes.
