The “Store corrections in archive” control allows you to save a certain
amount of acoustic data. As you make corrections and perform additional
training using the Acoustic Optimizer, Dragon NaturallySpeaking

®

stores this acoustic data in an archive and uses it to enhance recognition
accuracy. By default, the amount of acoustic data saved is set to 60
minutes.

The setting “Use Active Accessibility for menu and dialog control”
controls how Dragon NaturallySpeaking

®

understands menu names and

dialog box controls. Leave this box selected for best results.

In most programs, you can select menu commands and dialog box
options just by saying the menu name or option name (such as “Edit” or
Print”). Optionally, you can add “Click” before the menu or option
name, such as “Click Edit” or “Click Print.” Selecting the setting
“Require ‘Click’ to select menu or control” in this dialog box means that
Dragon NaturallySpeaking

®

will recognize only “Click Edit,” not “Edit

by itself. Leave this box cleared unless you find that Dragon
NaturallySpeaking

®

is confusing your dictation and commands or if

you’re having trouble controlling menus and dialog boxes by voice.

The “Restore defaults” button restores the original installation settings.

Backing up user files

As you use Dragon NaturallySpeaking

®

, it adapts to your voice and

learns your individual added words, improving accuracy the more you
use it. It saves these improvements in your user files and it’s important to
back up these files regularly. Making regular backups, perhaps every
week, saves having to start from scratch (with reduced accuracy) should
something happen to your computer.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking

®

will make a backup automatically every fifth

time you save your user files. (You can change this frequency on the
Miscellaneous tab of the Options dialog box; see page 206.) The
program will also save a copy of your files when you click Back Up User
from the NaturallySpeaking

®

menu on the DragonBar. The backups

Dragon NaturallySpeaking

®

makes, however, are stored on the same

computer as your original files. To back up more reliably, copy your user
