Troubleshooting Vocabulary

I can't add documents to Vocabulary Training

If you are unable to add your written documents to the Vocabulary Training window, try these steps to solve the problem.

  • Make sure the documents you want to add are in text (.txt and .rtf) or Microsoft Word (.doc and .docx) format.
  • Remove any graphics from the documents.
  • Divide large files over 3MB into smaller files.

My custom vocabulary words are missing

Occasionally, technical support may tell you to delete your profile. Because your custom vocabulary items are stored in this folder, they will no longer appear if you create a new profile.

Important: Do not delete your profile unless specifically instructed by Nuance technical support.

Dragon backs up your custom vocabulary words in your Documents folder. To restore your vocabulary:

  1. Click the Dragon menu icon in the menu bar and select Edit Vocabulary…
  2. The Vocabulary Editor appears.

  3. Click the Tools menu (Tools menu) and select Import…
  4. Browse to Documents/Dragon/Support/<profile>/Vocabulary Backup.xml and click Import.
