# Vocabulary Training Window

The Vocabulary Training allows you to provide Dragon Dictate with written text so that it can learn unknown words. Learned words are added to Dragon Dictate’s recognition vocabulary for your profile, so you can use them while dictating.

To open the Vocabulary Training window:

- Choose Tools > Vocabulary Training.

To feed text files to the Vocabulary Training window:

1. Click Add to select files to add to the list of files to be analyzed. Dragon Dictate can read the same standard formats as TextEdit, such as text, .rtf, and .doc files.

2. Click the right-arrow at the lower right once again.

Alternatively, to feed selected text from an already open document to the Vocabulary Training window:

- Select the text and issue the command Train Vocabulary from Selection.

- Or, in a Note Pad window, select the text and choose Tools > Train Vocabulary From Selection.

If the text contains unknown words, the Vocabulary Training window will now present two columns of words: Included and Excluded. Manipulate the contents of these columns (by selecting words and then clicking Exclude or Include) so that the Included column contains only words that you actually use, and which you want Dragon Dictate to incorporate into its vocabulary.

To incorporate words in the Include column into Dragon Dictate’s vocabulary:

- Click the right-arrow at the lower right.
