Hi Ed
I am afraid that is incorrect. Ideally this Check Box should be unchecked
as a preference. All kinds of nonsense can get into the vocab if you check
this box. Even if you select text and type over it with the keyboard, words
can get added to the vocabulary. In addition, often people make mistakes
when correcting text and these errors can creep into the vocabulary. We
have a great tool to add words and phrases to the vocabulary manually, "My
Words", and this is highly recommended. The words and phrases added in this
way are also backed up separately using our Backup utility. Thus, they can
be restored with the current profile if necessary or indeed are available
for the creation of new profiles.
As a further point of reference, I can do no better than to draw readers to
the Knowebrainer/Dragon NaturallySpeaking community forum. This post,
although lengthy, gives good reasons for unchecking this box which I fully
support.

I am glad I did not have to type all of that URL!

Gary-if you are referring to the checkbox on the Correction tab in the
NaturallySpeaking Options which reads "Automatically add words to the
vocabulary", we usually leave this enabled. -ed.

I see in the Corrections Menu for version 9, that there is an option to add
corrected words to the Dragon dictionary, but J-Say suggests this option be
turned off. What is the reason?
Thanks list.
