Did you know that when dictating the word "Axis" followed by a number, the number value is entered in Roman Numerals by default?
When a user dictates a number following the word axis, by default, the number is entered as Roman Numerals. For example: dictating "Axis 5" is entered as "Axis V". This is by design; however it can be disabled should that be your preference.
To change the number format:
- Open the Speech Vocabulary Editor, and search for the word axis.
- Select the word axis, and click Properties.
- On the Word Properties dialog, change the and following numbers option to one of:
- normally - Numbers spelled as a word
- as numerals - Numeric value
- Select Axis I, Axis II, Axis III, Axis IV, Axis V, and click Delete to delete them from the Vocabulary Editor list.
Now users should be able to dictate the word Axis followed by a number that is either a numeric value or spelled as a word, but not as Roman Numerals.

Did you know that adding words to your vocabulary list and training words will help improve recognition accuracy?
Although the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting application may prove to deliver high recognition accuracy, there is always room for improvement. You may have noticed when dictating certain words, that these words are sometimes, or always, recognized incorrectly. There are two reasons this might occur:
- The word does not exist in your vocabulary list and therefore cannot be recognized by the system.
- The system does not understand the recording you have spoken into the microphone for a word and guesses the incorrect word.
Using the add word and train word features will allow the system to better understand your spoken word, resulting in improved recognition accuracy.
Use the following steps to train your word or phrase.
- Open the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting Client.
- From the Speech menu, select Vocabulary Editor.
The Vocabulary Editor displays.
- In the Written form field, type the word or phrase to train, or enter a new word or phrase to train.
NOTE: If the word or phrase is not listed, click Add, and then continue.
- Click Train.
The Train Words dialog displays.
- Say the word out loud two times, pronouncing the word as you would in one of your dictations.
- After practicing the word twice, click Go to begin recording, and dictate the correct pronunciation of the word into your microphone. The word or phrase is removed from the text box.
- Click Go a second time to begin recording, and dictate the correct pronunciation of the word a second time. The gray dot below the text field briefly flashes green.
- When finished, click Done to save your work and exit.
