Handling New Vocab Words or Misrecognitions
Often times very short and "non-distinct" words such as nil, null, or git are hard to get recognized correctly. The best way to get these words recognized easily is to create your own slightly modified version of them. In VoiceCode there are a few ways to go about this:
A great option is to create a new word in Dragon's vocab registry, with a pronunciation that is more distinct than the original word - but the spelling will still be the same.
For example, with the word nil, you could add a vocab word with a pronunciation of nilly and a spelling of nil. This way you will say nilly but the text nil will be what is actually sent to VoiceCode for processing.
Using this approach, the new word will be treated like any other regular english word.
Here is a screenshot showing how to do this in Dragon. Simply open the drop-down menu Tools > Vocabulary Editor, then add new vocab word, and do something similar to the image shown.
Another option is to actually add a command to VoiceCode. More details shortly...
