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.
