PERSONALIZING YOUR VOCABULARY
Dragon has knowledge of a large
number of words and abbreviations,
but in order to dictate efficiently, you
should let it learn what you use, in-
cluding nicknames, jargon, capitalized
phrases, the name of your street, etc.
Personalizing your vocabulary will
prevent many recognition errors.
There are several ways of doing this,
including using Dragon to analyze
documents that are similar to what
you plan to dictate.
Simple tools for this are available
from the DragonBar menus and
gathered in the Accuracy Center. For
example, see “Improve my accura-
cy” in the DragonBar’s Help menu.
THE DRAGON SIDEBAR
The Dragon Sidebar displays a
selection of popular commands,
including commands that are
available at any time, called
“Global” commands.
The top pane contains several tabs
that list commands with clickable
links to the relevant Help topics.
The lower pane contains tips.
Dragon offers several options
for the Sidebar. Right-clicking
the Sidebar displays a menu in
which you can choose to print the
content, hide the Mouse tab, hide
the Tips pane, and more.
You can bring up the Sidebar from
the Help menu, or by saying com-
mands such as “Open Dragon
Sidebar” or “What Can I Say?”
