C H A P T E R 3 Improving Your Speech Recognition
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 47
you want to add to the vocabulary. If the list is very long, selecting and
editing words can be time-consuming. Therefore, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking also gives you the option of adding a list of words
directly to the vocabulary. You can add this list as a document in Add
Words from Documents (see page 35), or by selecting “Add words from a
list” in Vocabulary Builder before processing documents.
Adding words from a list saves you time and also offers other advantages.
You can include frequently used phrases in your list to improve
recognition of these phrases. For example, if Dragon NaturallySpeaking
has trouble recognizing the name “Ellen Cohen” even though both
“Ellen” and “Cohen” are in the vocabulary, you can add the phrase
“Ellen Cohen” to the vocabulary.
To create a list of words:
Create a text (.TXT) file and enter each word or phrase you want to add
to the vocabulary on a separate line. Make sure words are spelled
correctly.
To include a spoken form, type a backslash (\) and then the spoken form. The
spoken form will appear in the Spoken form box in Vocabulary Editor after the word is
added. See page 42 for an illustration of written and spoken forms.
Following is an example of a correctly formatted list:
▲ You can use the DragonPad to create your text file.
TIP
Each line is added to
the vocabulary as a
single item. In this
example, the phrases
“Ellen Cohen,” “Fluffy
the Cat,” and so on,
will be added.
