Fix for Vocabulary Terms Working Like Substitutions - In the 17.2.0 release of the dictation server, multiple-word vocabulary terms may work like substitutions in a dictated transcript. This could appear as a complete replacement of letters in the transcript if the vocabulary term included a period. For example, if "Dr. S." was added as a vocabulary term, a dictation of "the patient had dry skin" could return as "the patient had Dr. S.in." Like substitutions, these vocabulary terms also appear on the Review & Correct Detail page only in the Substituted Text tab. These issues are related to work done in the 17.2.0 release to allow vocabulary terms to honor case for multi-word vocabulary terms. In the 17.2.2 patch release, the vocabulary case framework has been updated so that these vocabulary terms appear on the Original Text tab on the Review & Correct Detail page, and the case-matched form of vocabulary terms appear in the speech bubble in nVoq.Voice, or in the pop-up audio meter in SayIt. (D-13127, 11/30/2022) 
Note that there is still an issue with multi-word vocabulary terms returning lowercase at the beginning of a sentence if the term was added to vocabulary in lowercase. For example, if "osseous structures" is added as a vocabulary term, it could return at the beginning of a sentence as "osseous structures are unremarkable." This is scheduled to be fixed in a future release (B-17028). 

We recommend using Substitutions instead of Vocabulary for changing the case of words that already exist in the dictation topic or dictionary.
For example, "boulder" and "hospital" are words that the dictation server already knows. To get them to return in your transcript starting with uppercase letters (e.g. "Boulder Hospital"), a substitution should be used instead of vocabulary.
