Make sure that the box “Preview
the list of unknown words” is
checked, and click Next.
The checkbox “Adapt to writing
style” is what makes Dragon
learn frequency information,
which increases accuracy since it
helps differentiate between
homophones, like “world” and
“whirled”. Leave this box
checked unless you only want to
“harvest” potential custom
words—for instance, if the text is
very different from your normal
style, or contains a foreign
language.
Step 4: On the Add Documents box, click Add Document. Locate and select the document(s), then click Open.
TIP You can select multiple files at once: by holding down the Ctrl key, by pressing Ctrl A (the Windows
keyboard shortcut to “select all”)...
Dragon will now analyze the
text contained in the
designated documents.
This may take a moment—if
there is a lot of text to
analyze, you should run this
tool when you do NOT need to
use Dragon for something
else.
Once Dragon indicates that
analysis is complete, click
Next.
Dragon will then present you with a list of the “unknown” words it found, with a checkbox next to each one,
and the number of time encountered (the ones found most frequently are presented at the top, since they are
most likely to be relevant, unlike those that only occurred a few times.)
