Chapter 4: Dictating Text
Notes
n Dragon also learns from your typing – if you use the keyboard to correct
a misrecognized word, Dragon learns from the correction and can use
the word the next time you dictate it.
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.
n The Correction tab of the Options dialog box lets you control the behav-
ior of the Correction menu, including the commands that make it appear.
n If you would rather not see the Correction menu every time you select
text, you can turn it off. On the Correction tab of the Options dialog box,
clear the box that says "'Select' commands bring up Correction menu."
Then click Apply.
n If you want to open the Spelling window when you start to correct a word
or phrase, select "Correct commands bring up Spelling window" on the
Correction tab of the Options dialog box.
n If you select a phrase to correct that includes punctuation added to the
sentence automatically, the list of corrections that appears in the Cor-
rection menu will include a version without the automatically inserted
punctuation.
n In some applications, you may have difficulty revising selected text. In
this case, you may need to use the Dictation Box. Just select the text
you want to revise and say "Show Dictation Box" or "Edit Selection."
