This month's eTips
Did you know you can import multiple custom words into a language model from a text file?
Adding custom words to your language models can improve speech recognition. Custom words might include place names, or the names of drugs or persons. For example, if a new drug comes on the market, you can add the drug name to all language models in your system. Adding words at the system level eliminates the need for providers to add the words themselves.
You can add individual words manually or import a list of words from a text file.
When creating your custom words text file, use one word per line; use a back slash to separate a word from its optional spoken form. You can specify more than one spoken form for a word.
For example:
To import words:
- In the Setup group, select the Speech tab.
- Select the language model into which you want to import the words.
- Click Import.
The Import Words dialog displays. 
- Click Browse, and navigate to and select the file you want to import.
- Click Open. The file name and path display in the Choose file field.
- Click Import.
 If you attempt to import a spoken form for a word that is already in the system with another spoken form, a warning message displays.
- Select an option:
- None: Do not add the new spoken form.
- Add: Add the new spoken form.
- Replace: Discard the existing spoken form, and add the new one in its place.
- Skip: Do not add the word.
- Click Import to continue.
Or
Click Add All, Replace All, or Skip All.
- Click Import.
The words in the file import into the selected language model, and appear in the list. Any words already in the language model will be skipped, unless you are adding a new spoken form.
A message box indicates the number of words added and skipped.

Did you know that Autoformatting Rules can be set for Dictated Text?
The autoformatting rules, also referred to as post-processing rules, determine how text appears in finished reports. You can change the default settings for these rules to fit your organization’s standards.
The Formatting dialog box allows you to set formatting rules for your entire facility.
To set the autoformatting rules:
- In the Setup group, select the Speech tab.
- Click Edit Formatting Options. The Speech Formatting dialog box displays.
- Set the options on the following tabs:
- General
- Capitalization
- Numbers, Units, and Dates
- Abbreviations
- Section Headings
- Vertebrae
- Miscellaneous
- On each tab, all the options provide green text in brackets that indicate the default values.
- True indicates the check box is selected.
- False indicates the check box is cleared.
- Option name bolded indicates that you have changed the value from the default.
Tips:
- Click Check All to set all the values on the tab to True.
- Click Uncheck All to set all the values on the tab to False.
- Click Restore Defaults to set all values on the tab to their original defaults.
- Click Save and Close to save your changes.
The users will see the changes after their next login.
