Customizing the Vocabulary—Using the Vocabulary Editor

Dragon’s Vocabulary Editor lets you view what can be transcribed from the computer’s active memory; it also

allows you to add new entries, as well as edit existing entries—including their Spoken Forms and Properties.

Let’s explore the Vocabulary Editor’s interface:

Step 1: Say Edit Vocabulary (you can also use the DragonBar’s Vocabulary menu or the Accuracy Center). The

Vocabulary Editor opens; its scrollable window lists the entries currently in Dragon’s active Vocabulary.

Take a moment to scroll through the list. You will see names of people, places, institutions and products,

as well as common words, phrases, and abbreviations.

Step 2: Open the Display drop-down list (located at the bottom) and choose Words Containing Spaces. Other

Vocabulary displays include Words Containing Digits, Words Containing Capitalization, and Words with

Special Properties. By browsing these, you can learn more about what the software uses to transcribe

your dictation. You also get ideas about what entries you might add or edit.

Adding vocabulary entries

You can quickly search for a particular Vocabulary entry by entering it in the Search field. If it appears in the

scrollable list, it is already in the active layer of the Vocabulary. If not, click Add to bring it in.
