Chapter 5: Making Corrections
To choose the correct text
If the correct text is one of the alternatives listed, say "Choose" and then
say the number of the alternative in the list. As an option, you can press the
ALT key and type the number of the alternative from the keyboard (not the
numeric keypad).
The text you choose replaces the text in your document.
Example:
If the correct text is the third alternative, say "Choose 3."
Notes
n Dragon's Smart Format Rules dialog 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 Automatically Format Text.
n When selecting an alternative on the correction menu, say "Choose" and
the number of that alternative. 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
number formatting options on the Auto-formatting dialog box.
n In the Spelling window, if one of the recognition alternatives is nearly cor-
rect, you can say "Select" and the number of the alternative. The alter-
native text is moved into the text box, so you can edit it. As an option,
you can press the SHIFT and ALT keys and type the number of the alter-
native from the keyboard (not the numeric keypad).
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 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 You can choose to always play back recorded speech in the Correction
menu. You can set the respective option on the Correction tab of the
Options dialog box.
Correcting misrecognized commands
If you speak a valid command and it is not recognized correctly, use the
following procedure to ensure that Dragon recognizes the command in the
future. When valid command words and phrases appear in the Results box the
box contains a blue border. Open the Command Browser from the DragonBar
Tools menu for lists of valid commands.
