Notes

n Typing letters into the Spelling window searches Dragon's Vocabulary for a matching

word. If you must type the full word, it is because it is not in the active Vocabulary

or the backup dictionary. When you save a User Profile, any words you add in the

Spelling window are added as new words to the active Vocabulary.

n If one of the recognition alternatives is nearly correct, you can say "Select" and the

number of the alternative. The alternative text appears in the text box where you can

edit it.

n The voice command "Delete Next/Previous Word" does not work in the Spelling

window.

Spelling words

If a word or phrase is not currently in Dragon's Vocabulary, you can spell it in the Spelling

window, and add it to Dragon's Vocabulary. Words you spell directly into the document,

while the Spelling window is closed, are not added to the Vocabulary. In addition, you can

teach (or "train") Dragon to recognize how you pronounce the word or phrase you spell.
