While using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 to dictate the phrases and words in your documents and emails, it is quite obvious that you would want to include some business specific words and terminologies which the Dragon does not understand. In such situations, the program does not type the spoken words but the ones that closely match them as per its built-in vocabulary list.
When this happens, you are required to change the non-contextual words and retype the correct terms manually. This is really a tedious and time taking process, and while using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 which is a versatile and sophisticated application in itself, it sounds really illogical.
Even the developers of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 understand this issue and therefore they have developed the program in such a way that it allows the end users to add their own vocabulary as per their needs. While adding new words to the vocabulary, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 also allows the users to train the program as how the words are pronounced, and what the application should type during dictations. In this case, you are just required to type the desired word in the given field, and speak the word into the microphone just once or twice. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 then automatically adapts the way you speak the word and its spellings that you have typed. Once this entire process is complete, you can speak the business specific words into the microphone which the program will type without any errors.
Here’s what you need to do to add the custom words to the vocabulary, and train the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 to type them when spoken into the microphone:
