common spelling. If this isn’t the spelling you want, just correct the word
(as described in “Correcting recognition mistakes” on page 13). The
Correction dialog box displays any alternative spellings that are already
in the vocabulary. If none of the choices are what you want, type or spell
the name the way you want it to appear.
If the name is a popular one, Dragon NaturallySpeaking may continue to
use the more common spelling. If this is a problem, you can create a
dictation shorthand for entering the spelling you want (see “Creating
dictation shorthands” on page 66). Or, if you never use a particular
spelling, you can delete it from the vocabulary (see “Adding words in
Vocabulary Editor” on page 24).
Dictating abbreviations and
acronyms
Dragon NaturallySpeaking knows many common abbreviations (such as
NYC) and acronyms (such as NATO). To dictate an abbreviation or
acronym, just say it as you normally would.
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking types the full word instead of the
abbreviation or acronym, or enters the wrong word, just correct it (as
described in “Correcting recognition mistakes” on page 13). The
Correction dialog box should display the abbreviation or acronym on the
list of alternatives. If none of the choices are correct, type it or spell it by
voice.
