Use the Add Words from Word Lists feature to add new words to the vocabulary from one or more text (.txt) files that have been created ahead of time.
|
NOTE: This method of adding words requires that the text file you create has a .txt extension. You can use any text editor (for example, Word, WordPad, or Notepad); just be sure to save your file with a .txt extension. |
To create a word list text file:
1. Start a new document in a text editor (such as Notepad, WordPad, or Microsoft Word).
2. Type a new word or phrase into the document and press Enter.
|
NOTE: Press Enter after each word or phrase you add; each new word or phrase must be on a separate line in this document. |
3. Type any other words or phrases you want to add, pressing Enter after each entry.
4. When finished, save the file as a text file using the .txt extension. For example, name the file words added 10 August 2010.txt to identify the date on which you added the words to your system.
To add words from a word list:
1. Select Speech > Add Words from List from the menu bar. The Import list of words or phrases dialog box opens.

6. After the system has finished analyzing the files, click Next. If you selected the preview option, the system displays any unknown words. Remove the check mark next to any word you do not want to add.
7. Click Next. The system adds the words to the vocabulary and offers you an opportunity to train one or more of the new words. If desired, select words you want to train and click Train.
8. Click Next. The system displays a summary of the words added.
9. Review the summary and click Finish to close the wizard.
