Chapter 7: Customizing and optimizing Vocabularies
The View Document button
You press the View Document button to view a document in its native application. For example,
if you select a document that has a .doc file extension, when you press the View Document but-
ton, Dragon starts Microsoft Word to display the document.
In order to view a document in its native application, the native application must be installed on
the same computer as Dragon.
The Save List button
You click the Save List button to open the Save Document List as File dialog box and save the
current list of documents as a .txt file in a folder. The text file contains the names of each file and
the full path to each file. The Vocabulary Tool can process the following types of files:
n Microsoft Word (*.DOC)
n Corel WordPerfect (*.WPD)
n ASCII Text (*.TXT)
n Rich Text Format (*.RTF)
n HyperText (*.HTM, *.HTML, *.SHTM, and *.SHTML)
If your computer does not have access to an application that can open a particular type of file, the
Vocabulary Tool will not be able to process the document.
The Load List button
You click the Load List button to open the Load Document List from File dialog box and load
a file that contains a list of documents. This is the file you create using the Save List button. If
you attempt to load a file that does not contain an appropriate file list, an error message displays
and the contents of the file do not appear in the document list.
Note: Only process documents that contain valid text and that reflect the writing style of the
user. Otherwise, the documents may damage the vocabulary or decrease the recognition accuracy
of Dragon by building a Language Model from examples that do not reflect the dictation style of
the user.
Voctool:Choosing Word Lists
You use the Choosing Word Lists page of the Vocabulary Tool to select word lists for the
Vocabulary Tool to analyze. The Vocabulary Tool can identify if a word is in the current vocab-
ulary.
A word list is an ASCII text document that contains words or shorts phrases to add to a vocab-
ulary. Each word or phrase should be on a separate line. You can use a backslash (\) to separate
the written form of a word from the spoken form of a word. For example: "& Co.\and Company"
