What is the importance of vocabularies in using Dragon?
Vocabularies are extremely important to obtaining high levels of accuracy in two respects. First, it is critical that you choose the right baseline vocabulary (one appropriate to your medical specialty) when setting up your first user profile. This will serve as the base vocabulary from which Dragon will select words as it hears you talk. Second, it is extremely helpful to add personalized words to your vocabulary. Personalized words might include proper nouns that are probably not in the Dragon vocabulary such as the names of local hospitals, names of referring physicians (or your partners) and specialized words pertaining to your office or hospital. New words can be added to your user profile one word at a time using the “Words” menu, or can also be added as long lists of words in a .txt document. Like commands, specialized word can be shared from user to user and added to a user’s profile in a single step.
