Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
1. Say "Go To Beginning of Document."
2. Look for the first misrecognition and say "Select" and the text that is incor-
rect. The Correction menu appears with a number of alternatives.
n If one alternative is correct, say "Choose" and the number of that alter-
native. For example, "Choose Two." 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 automatic text formatting
properties on the Auto-formatting dialog box.
n If none of the alternatives is correct, say "Spell That," spell the correct
word or words into the Spelling window, and then say "OK."
3. Verify that the correct text appears in the document in place of the mis-
recognized text and continue to the next misrecognition.
Using Smart Format Rules
You can also use the Smart Format Rules feature to have Dragon recognize
when you correct dictated text that corresponds to an Auto-formatting option
or supported by this feature. Dragon then displays a Smart Format Rules dialog
box, offering one or more setting adjustments relevant to the change you just
made. If you don’t wish to change any setting, you can just ignore the Smart
Format Rules box and continue dictating, or say "Cancel" and the box will close.
The Smart Format Rules box may appear when you make a correction using
n the Correction menu
n the Spelling window
or
n the keyboard.
For details, see Using Smart Format Rules, the Auto-formatting dialog box and
Creating Word Properties.
Notes
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 When you use the Correction menu with a selection of more than 70 char-
acters, Dragon selects only the first sentence for correction.
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 When you use the "select" or "correct" command to select any part of a
hyphenated word or a hyphen, Dragon selects the entire hyphenation. For
example, in the hyphenated word "brother-in-law" if you say "correct
