4 Say “Spell That” or “Correct That.” The Correction dialog box opens.
5 Type or spell the correction in the Correction dialog box.
Since “Punxsutawney” is in the backup dictionary, it should appear in
the list of alternatives before you finish entering it. (The list of
alternatives always displays possible endings for the text in the text box.)
6 Say, for example, ““Choose 2.” You can also select the correct word and
click or say “OK.”
The Correction dialog box closes and “Punxsutawney” becomes an
active word. The next time you dictate “Punxsutawney,” Dragon
NaturallySpeaking should get it right.
7 Save your speech files to add the word to your active vocabulary.
Quick and easy ways to add new
words
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking gets a word wrong, often it’s because
the word is not in the vocabulary at all. This is likely if the word is an
uncommon name or specialized term. You must teach Dragon
NaturallySpeaking these new words, so it can recognize them when you
say them.
