Step 4: On the Add Documents box, click Add D

ocument. 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.)

Step 5: Uncheck items you do NOT wish to add (you can take advantage of the Uncheck All button.)

TIP This list may include capitalized forms of common words; these are usually better left out of the

Vocabulary since you can always say “Cap” before a word, but you may want to include them in a

phrase entry, such as ‘Senior Technical Trainer’ (remember, it’s a good idea to add phrases to the

Vocabulary).

If you wish to modify an item (to make it lowercase, or expand on it, for instance) or give it a spoken

form, highlight it then click or say E

dit. This button opens the Edit Word window, which also presents

a little context for the item.
