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".

For more information, see NATO alphabet reference.

Say "Spell That" immediately after Dragon misrecognizes a word or phrase.
