CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
4
The Accuracy Assistant, which is part of the Accuracy Center, guides the
user in selecting the right tool for improving accuracy. See page 152.
Acoustic Optimizer
After you have used Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
for a while and some
recognition errors may have occurred, the Acoustic Optimizer is a tool
that lets Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
process all the recorded data it has
collected during training and while corrections have been made. It learns
from this data in one sweep, which is much more powerful than gradual
adaptation from each correction. Start the optimizer before you leave for
a meeting and come back to improved recognition. See page 153.
Add contact names and vocabulary
Add the contact names from your address book to your vocabulary file
(Available only in Standard and higher editions.) You can also scan your
sent e-mail to teach Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
the words you use. See
page 160.
Nothing But Speech (“NBS”)™
The Nothing But Speech technology filters out some of the fillers
between dictation, such as “uhms” and “ahs,” to help avoid insertion of
unwanted words.
Easier to use
Faster, easier correction
A new, streamlined correction interface makes it easier than ever to
proofread and correct your work. The improved Correction menu is now
available wherever you can select text by voice. See page 36.
Correct whichever way you want—by voice, by mouse and keyboard, or
using any combination of these. Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will still
learn from your corrections, even if you just type them over the words
you’ve selected.
The new correction workflow lets you dictate your entire document and
then quickly move along and correct phrase by phrase as needed. See
“Ways to correct your dictation” on page 136.
