Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
You can enable and disable these Direct Editing commands from the Commands
tab of the Options dialog box.
Workflow
You can experiment with Dragon's various correction options, including both
vocal and manual actions (Correction button, Correction hot key, double-click
to Correct, Smart Format Rules), to see what you prefer for a given situation.
For a description of three different methods for correcting text and how each
fits into a particular workflow, click Correction workflow.
Techniques
The following topics explain different aspects of correcting text:
Correcting text errors as you dictate
Choosing the correct text
Undoing actions
Correcting misrecognized commands
Notes
n Remember that letting Dragon adapt its Vocabulary to your own words
and phrases will prevent many recognition errors. If a word is not in
Dragon's active Vocabulary, Dragon can't recognize it accurately. The
Accuracy Center provides a central location for taking advantage of all the
Dragon tools available to ensure excellent recognition. For more infor-
mation, see Using the Accuracy Center.
n If you get a message in the DragonBar that there is nothing to correct,
select the text you want to correct and say "Correct That" again (or press
the Correction hot key or click the Correction button).
n If you select a phrase to correct that includes a comma or period 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 To dictate the word "correct" at the beginning of an utterance (that is, as
the first word after a pause), either say "correct" and then pause, or hold
down the Shift key while you speak to force Dragon to recognize the word
as dictation and not as a command. You can change the key that you
press to control this behavior on the Hot keys tab of the Options dialog
box.
Choosing the correct text
In the Correction menu and the Spelling window, Dragon offers a selection of
recognition alternatives. Use the following procedure to choose the alternative
you want.
