Improving Accuracy
Your sent e-mail must be from either Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook
Express, or Lotus Notes or the Vocabulary Optimizer cannot scan it.
Documents older than 90 day and documents less than 512 bytes are not
processed.
Because the scanning process can take a long time and use much of your
computer's memory and processing power, it is best to run the Vocabulary
Optimizer only when you are not using your computer for other purposes.
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:

Click Train on the Words menu of the DragonBar to open the Training dialog
