About adding words and phrases to your vocabulary

You add words and phrases to your vocabulary to improve Dragon's recognition accuracy. When you add words and phrases, they are available only in the vocabulary you currently have open.

If you are using a Dragon edition where Nuance Management Center/NMS mode is enabled, your custom words and phrases may be available locally on any computer where you log in to Dragon. Your NMC administrator must have enabled the option to upload custom words in the NMC console. If this option is not enabled, your custom words are available only on the computer where you created them. Your custom words are available only to you.
