Spelling words and phrases
You can spell words and phrases that Dragon misrecognizes. Dragon might misrecognize a word because it is not in the active vocabulary. When you spell words in the Spelling window, Dragon adds them to the active vocabulary automatically. You can also spell words in your document without using the Spelling window, though Dragon doesn't add them to your vocabulary.
You can optionally spell words in the Spelling window using the NATO alphabet. The NATO alphabet uses words to represent letters, like "alpha" for "a", and "bravo" for "b". You can also use the NATO alphabet in Spell mode. You cannot use it during dictation. For more information, see NATO alphabet reference.
If you don't know how to dictate a specific character or symbol, open the Vocabulary Editor and search for it to view the Spoken Form. For more information, see Vocabulary Editor dialog box.
If you need to spell a large amount of words or phrases, consider switching to Spell mode. For more information, see Using recognition modes.
