Adding custom words from a command line
You can use the nsadmin utility to make new words available to all User Profiles on a particular
installation of Dragon.
You must first either create a text file or export words from an existing User Profile's installation
of Dragon before you can distribute the words (for example, a list of new drug names) to a dif-
ferent installation of Dragon.
After you use the nsadmin utility to import the custom words, for the changes to become avail-
able, you must close your User Profiles, re-open the User Profiles, and save them.
Createa text file that contains custom words
Perform one of the following two actions before you distribute a set of custom words to a par-
ticular installation of Dragon:
Create a text file that contains custom words
1. Create a text file.
2. In the text file, add each word of phrase that you want to add to the vocabulary. Make sure each
word or phrase uses correct spelling and is a on a separate line.
l To add a multiple-word phrase, such "Mayberry Tribune", type it on one line.
l To include a spoken form of a word, type the word followed by a backslash (\) and the
spoken form of a word. For example, to have Dragon enter "Robert F. Kennedy"when you
say "RFK", type Robert F. Kennedy\RFK in the text file.
Export words from a Dragon installation
If you have Dragon available on another computer, you can use it to create custom words and
export the words to a .txt file. For more information, see the main Dragon Help file.
Add custom words to a shared location
When you use nsadmin utility, you can enter paths as complete local paths, relative paths,
mapped network drives, a UNC path, or the path to removable media such as a CD-ROM or ZIP
drive. For more information, see Using paths with nsadmin.
Perform the following steps after you create a text file that contains custom words or after you
export words from an installation of Dragon:
1. If you have not already created it, create the data distribution directory. For more information,
see Creating the Data Distribution Directory on page 289.
