Does anyone know how to turn off the feature that will save your voice files when you exit from Dragon NaturallySpeaking?

What's happening is that we have students with visual perception problems, and they often cannot read the text to see if it is correct. I conduct a training session for about 2 weeks (1/2 to 1 hour per day), and after that they use it for their assignments - to get them started anyway. After the dictation, they close Dragon and use textHelp Read and Write to begin the editing process.

Anyway, the long and short of it is that the students are beginning to corrupt their voice files because they save their text when they exit from the program, and it's saving the incorrect ones because they are not correcting their words properly. (Mainly due to their inability to recognize the correct and incorrect spelling of many words.)

Can you help?

Thanks
