CHAPTER 3 Improving Your Speech Recognition More about spoken forms Perhaps your vocabulary contains proprietary words with unusual capitalization, or proper names with unusual spellings. Some phrases, such as company names, have particular punctuation. Or, you might want Dragon NaturallySpeaking to write out a person's name when you say their initials. You can teach the program to type the word or phrase correctly when it recognizes the spoken form. TIP You can also create a spoken form for a word you're having trouble getting Dragon NaturallySpeaking to recognize (for example, if the program often types "Lara" when you say "Laura" and correcting and training the word doesn't help). In the last example in the table, the written form for the word would be "Laura" and the spoken form should be a unique phrase, such as "Laura my office mate." For any word or short phrase that is less than 128 characters and fits on a single line, you should create a spoken form rather than a dictation shortcut (see page 38). Here are some examples of words with different written and spoken forms. Look in the Vocabulary Editor window for more examples.
