About personalizing your Vocabulary
You can personalize a Vocabulary to more closely match your writing style and to recognize
any special words which you dictate. You can do this in several ways, by adding individual
words, or by adding entire documents that you write or lists of words that you prepare, and
by using Smart Format Rules. Dragon can add these new words to the Vocabulary and update
the Vocabulary with information about your word usage. This improves the likelihood that
Dragon will correctly recognize what you say.
You can use the following methods to add or delete words in the Vocabulary.
Adding words or phrases to your Vocabulary
Learning from specific documents
Importing lists of words or phrases
Adding words by spelling
Deleting words
Using the Don't Recognize That Word Command
Notes
n You are not required to train new words because Dragon automatically "guesses" the
pronunciations based on their spelling. If, however, your new words are not rec-
ognized correctly, you should train them.
n Be sure to save your User Profile after adding new words or the new words will not be
saved.
n If you make unwanted changes to a Vocabulary, you can create a new one or restore
your User Profile from a backup copy.
