Analyzing Your Documents - IBM VIAVOICE 10-PERSONAL EDITION User Manual

Analyzing your documents

You can get a head start on dictation by having ViaVoice analyze your
existing document files.
ViaVoice can analyze Word document files (DOC), Rich Text Format files
(RTF), text files (TXT) and HTML document files (HTM, HTML).
The User Wizard displays this window so that you can make these files
available for analysis:
When ViaVoice analyzes your files, it identifies words that are not in its base
vocabulary. You can then select which words you want added to your personal
vocabulary. (Your personal vocabulary contains new words that ViaVoice finds
in your dictated documents.) ViaVoice also updates its information with your
personal writing style so that, when you dictate in that style, it will
understand you better.
For now, select the middle or bottom option, then click Next.
Once a voice model has been created, you can go on to the next chapter,
where you will begin dictating with SpeakPad, the speech-enabled word
processor in ViaVoice. We recommend that you start with SpeakPad, which is
easy to use.
