Managing your vocabularies
Click the last link in the Accuracy Center, “How to manage and personalize your
vocabularies,” to open an online Help topic about vocabularies. (To display the
Accuracy Center, click Accuracy Center on the Tools menu of the DragonBar.)
The Professional and higher editions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking allow one user
to create multiple vocabularies. This can be useful if you dictate on several
unrelated topics—for example, if you dictate medical reports part of the time and
dictate a e-mail at other times. In this case, you could create separate vocabularies
for medical dictation and for your personal writing, thereby increasing accuracy.
Multiple vocabularies share the same pronunciations but have different words and
word usage information. This means that you do not need to train for each
vocabulary. Your acoustic information resides in your user files. You can imagine
vocabularies as subdirectories of your user files, with one set of acoustic files that
works across all your vocabularies. For additional information about using multiple
vocabularies, see the online Help.
Training a word or command
Sometimes Dragon NaturallySpeaking will misrecognize a word or command more
than once, even after you correct the program’s misrecognition. When this happens,
use the Training dialog box to easily train the word or command.
To train a word or command:
1 Click Train on the Words menu of the DragonBar to open the Training dialog
box.
2 Type the word or command you want to train (capitalization does not matter).
▲ In this example, the word to be trained is “Springdale.”
