Pausing the Assistant
If you cannot finish reading the entire story in one session, or if you have to
interrupt any portion of the processing, you may pause and restart at a later
time. The Assistant allows you to restart at the point you left off. The window
also shows you the percentage of the story already processed.
Analyze My Documents
One of the best ways to increase your personal vocabulary in ViaVoice is to
allow the application to read and analyze what you have written before.
ViaVoice has a large vocabulary, but you may need to dictate documents with
words that are not included in the vocabulary.
Analyzing a Document
You probably have documents on your computer that contain words and phrases much
like those you plan to dictate in the future. Analyzing these documents helps ViaVoice
find new words so you can add them to the ViaVoice vocabulary.

SetupAssistant icon in the ViaVoice folder.
The Welcome to ViaVoice SetupAssistant window appears.
