I agree with you that the steps necessary to go to a larger vocabulary size
(recreating custom phrases and every running documents to the Topic Builder)
are a bit of a pain. However, it has been my experience that it is well
worth it if you switch to the 55K vocabulary which has the larger language
model. There is a noticeable drop in misrecognitions. (I will have to be
satisfied with using the 55K vocabulary and not the new 'Best Match'
technology until I can upgrade the motherboard and processor in my aging
Pentium 133. According to the information on Joel Gould's unofficial
information pages you need at least a 200MHz processor to take advantage of
this technology.)
If I had the funds available I'd bite the bullet and purchase a completely
new Pentium II 400MHz machine with a Turtle Beach Montego sound card and
128MB of memory. Wouldn't that be something to run NaturallySpeaking Deluxe
version 3.0 on!
