Gary- you may want to do something that I call a voice token. This is where
you would put in something that is not a phonetic rendering of what you want
transcribed that seems to work through the Vocabulary Editor spoken form. So
typically I might you something like "NFB" as the spoken form of National
Federation for the Blind. Of course, if you need the acronym as the thing
itself this approach would work but you can use something like "the
national" as the spoken form.
This is an interesting phenomenon/behavior from the Dragon engine. I
actually think it started somewhere around version 7 or 8 when they made
some changes to the core algorithm. but it has seem to become more
pronounced. I reported this as a "known bug" many years ago to nuance, they
acknowledged it but don't seem to be working on fixing it. Hope you're doing
well -ed.

Hello, Ed. I did create a new profile, let it examined my email for the way
that I write and my email contacts, configured the J-Say profile, brought
down J-Say and brought it up so that it would read the mywords file. I
believe that the documentation says that a reboot is required, but I am
guessing that all that is really required is taking down Dragon and bringing
it up once again.
This does not seem to be working. If I dictate American foundation for the
blind, you will see that the only worded capitalizes is American. If I
enter American Council of the Blind it gets it. Sometimes when I enter
national Federation of the blind it puts it in the strange form that you see
here, capitalizing only the word Federation. I see no real consistency.
The new profile is plenty responsive and it does seem to understand the
special spelling of names such as Gary Wunder or Shelia, but it still messes
up organization names. I will try entering a voice pronunciation. I
believe that if I do this in the mywords utility, I simply enter a backslash
character and how the phrases said. I'll report back soon.
