Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
To undo dictation
Say "Scratch That."
Example:
To remove text just after you dictated it, say "Scratch That."
Notes
n You can cancel a selection by saying "Unselect That," selecting different
text, or moving the insertion point to another part of the document.
n The "Undo That" and "Undo Last Action" commands send an undo
(CTRL+z) command to the active program. The result of the command
depends on which program is active and how it handles the undo com-
mand. For example, if you say "Undo That" twice in a row in the Drag-
onPad window, the second Undo reverses the first command and restores
the original dictation. Other programs may behave differently.
n The Accuracy Center provides a central location for taking advantage of
all the Dragon tools available to ensure excellent recognition. For more
information, see Using the Accuracy Center.
Correcting text errors as you dictate
Use the procedures in this topic if you notice that Dragon misrecognizes a word
or words while you are dictating. When you correct errors, Dragon learns not to
make the same mistakes again.
To correct a word or phrase with the Correction menu
1. Say "Select <text>," where text is the incorrect word or phrase. If the error
is in the last thing you said, you can just say "Select That." (Also see Tips for
selecting text). Dragon highlights the word or phrase, and the Correction
menu appears.
2. If the correct word or phrase is on the list, start spelling to choose it, or say
"Choose" and the number of that choice. For example, say "Choose 2." Do
not say "Choose Numeral Two" or Dragon will transcribe the phrase as the
text "Choose Numeral Two" or "Choose 2" depending on how you set the
number formatting options on the Auto-formatting dialog box.
3. If the word or phrase you want is not on the list, spell the word, or say "Spell
That" and spell the word letter by letter.
Dragon's Smart Format Rules box may appear when you correct auto-
formatted alphanumeric text using the Correction command, the Spelling
window, or the keyboard. For details, see Using Smart Format Rules and Setting
Auto-Formatting Options.
The Spelling window appears. You can use this dialog box to spell or type the
correct word.
