About vocabularies
A vocabulary in Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
is a body of information that
includes a word list and a language model. The word list includes
information about all the words that the program can recognize. The
language model contains usage information about those words. Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
uses a vocabulary to recognize words correctly based
not only on the sound of the words, but on their context. When you
create a new user, you select the vocabulary on which to base the user.
When you create a new user or new vocabulary for an existing user, you
select the vocabulary on which to base the vocabulary you create.
Vocabular y
You can select from among the following vocabularies:
■ General: A large vocabulary providing excellent recognition accuracy
for general, business, and professional dictation.
■ Commands Only: A limited vocabulary containing only command
words and phrases. Choose this vocabulary if you want to use
Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
only for command and control of
programs and not for dictation.
If this user file will be used
with a USB microphone,
array microphone, or
handheld recorder*,
choose the appropriate
option from the Dictation
source list.
