CHAPTER 3 Improving Your Speech Recognition example, if you were processing documents you didn't write but which contain words you use). 2 For the second option, select "Yes" to preserve previously gathered language data. If you select "No," this data will be lost.

Managing vocabularies If you have Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional or a higher edition, you have the option of creating additional vocabularies with specialized words. An additional vocabulary can improve recognition accuracy if you have different and distinct writing styles and if the writing you do requires a large vocabulary of specialized terms. For example, a doctor who uses Dragon NaturallySpeaking for dictating medical reports and also for sending e-mail to friends and family may be able to enhance recognition accuracy by having two different vocabularies: a vocabulary for professional writing and one for informal correspondence. Whether or not you need an additional vocabulary depends on how many words you would need to add to your current vocabulary to make it effective for all the writing you do. Unless this number is greater than 10,000 words (as it might be for a doctor), you should be able to add all the specialized terms you use to your current vocabulary without compromising the recognition accuracy of other words. 54 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide

Vocabulary Builder, you can restore a backup copy of your user. See “Restoring a

Managing vocabularies
If you have Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional or a higher edition,
you have the option of creating additional vocabularies with specialized
words.
An additional vocabulary can improve recognition accuracy if you have
different and distinct writing styles and if the writing you do requires a
large vocabulary of specialized terms. For example, a doctor who uses
Dragon NaturallySpeaking for dictating medical reports and also for
sending e-mail to friends and family may be able to enhance recognition
accuracy by having two different vocabularies: a vocabulary for
professional writing and one for informal correspondence.
Whether or not you need an additional vocabulary depends on how
many words you would need to add to your current vocabulary to make it
effective for all the writing you do. Unless this number is greater than
10,000 words (as it might be for a doctor), you should be able to add all
the specialized terms you use to your current vocabulary without
compromising the recognition accuracy of other words.
