How do I change the contact upload option at a later point?

Access the Dragon for E-Mail Settings by clicking on the Dragon for E-Mail application icon and then clicking on the BlackBerry Button. Now choose Upload Contacts or Remove Contacts depending on whether you are trying to Upload or Remove contacts. Another method to upload contacts at a later point: From the email composition window, when the cursor is in the address field (To, Cc, Bcc), and you use the designated side speech key (for Dragon for E-Mail), you will see a message window where you can learn more about Uploading Contacts. Once you click on it, and go through the terms for Uploading Contacts, you can initiate uploading contacts in your address book.

Optional Contact Name upload at Installation

After you have accepted EULA during installation, you will be presented with a screen asking you if it is OK to add your names to the vocabulary. You can decide to Upload contacts or not at this point.
