- What it is
- Microsoft's help page for dictating with Windows Speech Recognition, written for Windows 7. It describes the Speech Dictionary and how correction works.
- How much weight it carries
- Official but old: it is written for Windows 7, so the menu paths differ from Windows 10 and Windows 11. The dictionary feature is the part relevant here.
Facts taken from this source
- Microsoft's help for Windows Speech Recognition says you can add words that are frequently misheard or not recognized by using the Speech Dictionary.
“You can also add words that are frequently misheard or not recognized by using the Speech Dictionary.” (Section on the Speech Dictionary)
