CHAPTER 13 Improving Accuracy 4 When you have finished adding all the documents you want to process, click Add Words. Dragon NaturallySpeaking® will process your documents, using the information in them to help improve your accuracy. NOTE The "Preview new words" option displays the words from the selected documents that were not in the active vocabulary. If this option is checked, the Preview Words dialog box appears after you click Add Words. The Preview Words dialog box displays all the new words found, with a check box to the left of each word. If you do not want to add a particular word in the list to your vocabulary, click on the box to clear the check mark. We recommend checking this box and previewing words to avoid adding unwanted words. How the Add Words from Documents tool improves accuracy This vocabulary tool uses your processed documents in several ways. Analyzing your writing changes the program's expectations about how often you say different words and phrases. For example, if you're a teacher who often uses the word "grades," Dragon NaturallySpeaking® will be much less likely to type "graves" by mistake. The software also finds and adds words from your documents that it does not already have in its vocabulary. Add contact names to the vocabulary If you use Lotus® Notes® or Microsoft® Outlook® for your e-mail, this tool will let you add the names of the people in your e-mail address book to your vocabulary. It can also analyze e-mail that you've already sent, improving accuracy by learning your writing style and the words you use most often. To add contact names: 1 Click the "Add contact names to the vocabulary" link in the Accuracy Center window. (To display the Accuracy Center, click Accuracy Center on the Tools menu of the DragonBar.) The Add Contacts dialog box opens. 160 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
