Step 1: Begin as you normally would, by saying correct immediately followed by the incorrect word(s) Dragon

placed on your screen. The Spell dialog box will appear as usual.

Step 2: Because you wish to train the pronunciation of this

word, proceed slightly differently than usual:

If the correct choice appears in the list, single-click it, or

say select 2 (or whatever number corresponds to the

choice) rather than choose 2 as you normally would

. This

will highlight the correct choice but will not close the Spell

dialog.

If the correct choice does not appear in the list, spell out

or type the desired word(s), but do not click OK or press

Enter as you normally would.

Step 3: Click the Train button or say Train.

Step 4: The Train Words window opens. Say

or click G

o. You will be prompted

first to pronounce the correct

word(s) and then to pronounce the

incorrect word(s) Dragon placed on

your screen.

After reading the second line, click

or say D

one to close the window.

IMPORTANT: Remember that, when providing acoustic training (and especially doing so after a

misrecognition), there is a natural tendency to over-enunciate or speak loudly. Be sure to avoid this. Since you

won’t over-enunciate in your normal dictations, doing so in the Train Words window would provide Dragon with

non-representative acoustic data. Instead, speak the word or phrase as you normally dictate.

Checking Acoustic Settings

Use Dragon’s audio check if something in your environment has changed: new computer, new microphone, new

room, different ambient noise… Also, if your overall accuracy is lower than expected, perform this check to

verify that your audio hardware is functioning correctly.
