Exporting and importing a list of custom words and phrases

You can export a list of custom words and phrases created in one user's Dragon vocabulary and save it to a TXT or XML file that other users can then import into their own vocabularies. Sharing custom words and phrases can save time and improve accuracy in companies with multiple users who dictate the same names or words.

Note: You can also manually create a list of words and phrases for users to import, using Windows Notepad or a Word processor. For more information on this, see Creating a list of words and phrases to import.
