Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide

3. Follow the steps on the Import list of words or phrases wizard.

Adding words with the Spelling window

If Dragon misrecognizes a word, it may be that the word is not in the program's Vocabulary.

When this is the case, you can use the following procedure to add the word so that it is rec-

ognized in the future.

To add words with the Spelling window

1. Say "Spell That," followed by the first four to six letters of the desired word.

The Spelling window opens.

2. In the the Spelling window, finish typing the word or spell it by voice.

3. If you wish to train the pronunciation of the word, click Audio> Improve Recognition of

Word or Phrase and follow the instructions in the Train Words dialog box.

Note

You cannot use the Spelling window to add a word that has hyphens or spaces. The program

recognizes each part of such a word as separate pieces. For example, if you tried to use the

Spelling window to add the name "Havisham-Smythe," you would actually be adding the

names "Havisham" and "Smythe". The next time you spoke the name you would get "Hav-

isham Smythe" without the hyphen. To add such a word or name, use the Vocabulary Editor

dialog box (say Open Vocabulary Editor).

Learn From Sent E-mails

Use the Learn From Sent E-mails tool to add the names of people to whom you have sent e-

mail to your Dragon Vocabulary. You have the option to edit and train these names and you

can also have Dragon scan the contents of your sent e-mail and add it to Dragon's Language

Model.

CAUTION

To maintain accuracy, Dragon must only analyze content in the language in which your user

profile was created. If you have Sent e-mail in other languages, only use this tool to add e-

mail contacts to your profile.

Note

It's best to run the Learn From Sent E-mails tool only when you are not using your computer

for other purposes because the tool uses large amounts of computer memory and processing

power.

To open the Learn From Sent E-mails tool

n Say "Open Accuracy Center," then "Learn From Sent E-mails."

n Click Vocabulary> Learn From Sent E-Mails on the DragonBar.
