CHAPTER 13
Improving Accuracy
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 157
Add words from your documents to the
vocabulary
Use this tool to have Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
analyze your
documents to better learn your writing style and the words you use most
often.
This procedure will add:
■ Words that match backup dictionary words that have the same
capitalization, for example, Punxsutawney (uppercase) or jackstraws
(lowercase)
■ Unexpected capitalizations of words found in the active or backup
dictionaries, for example, “I’ll see you at the Meeting today”
■ Words with at least one uppercase letter that are not in the backup
dictionary, for example, eBusiness and Brooklynese, or a name, such
as Rusinow
The program expects to find capitals at the beginning of sentences, or in a
sequence of words that are all capitalized or have initial caps, such as a book title. It
does not expect to find capitals in the middle of words or sentences.
This procedure will not add words written entirely in lowercase that are
not in the backup dictionary.
Prepare documents
Begin by finding on your computer some documents typical of those you
normally dictate. If you tend to write memos, letters, and reports, find a
few representative samples of each. Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will use
these files as a guide to the type of writing it expects to hear. Aim for 50
to 100 pages of material, though less than that amount will also make a
difference. Note the file name and location of each document.
Documents can be saved in any of these file formats:
FILE FORMAT FILE EXTENSION
Text .txt
Rich text .rtf
HTML .htm, .html, .shtm, .shtml
Microsoft
®
Word 6 or later .doc
Corel
®
WordPerfect
®
8 or later .wpd
