About language model slots
A vocabulary includes three slots for storing language model information. Not all vocabularies con-
tain information in each slot.
n base slot - Stores the base language model that ships with Dragon. You cannot modify the
information in the base slot.
n middle slot - Can contain a custom language model based on a significant amount of data,
developed for a target group of users. The only way to modify the middle slot is by using the
Vocabulary Tool .
n user slot - Can contain a language model based on a relatively small amount of data for use by at
most a few users. Individual users can modify the user slot using the Vocabulary Builder feature
of Dragon. You can also modify the user slot using the Vocabulary Tool .
