Listening to your recorded voice
The primary obstacle to dictating first and correcting later is forgetting
what you originally said. It’s frustrating to discover one of the software’s
mistakes but not remember the words you used.
The easiest way to remind yourself of what you said is to listen to your
recorded voice. In most applications, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
records what you say as you speak. In some applications, you can play
back only the most recent phrase you said.
Playback is available in all editions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking®. It works
in Microsoft Word
®
, Corel
®
WordPerfect
®
, the DragonPad and any other application that
accepts formatting, such as WordPad. Deferred correction and saving recorded dictation,
however, are available only in Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Professional and higher
editions (in Microsoft
®
Word, Corel
®
WordPerfect
®
, the DragonPad and any other
application that accepts formatting). Also, in Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
Preferred you
cannot save a recording of your dictation along with the document—you must listen to
your speech in the same computer session in which it was transcribed.
Here are two ways to play back your recorded speech.
■ Select the text for which you want to hear your original dictation and
say
“Play That Back.”
■ Select the text for which you want to hear your original dictation and
click on the blue triangle on the Extras toolbar on the DragonBar.
Now that you’ve heard what you originally said, correct the error. Just
type or say the words you want.
Other playback commands are:
■ “Play Back Line”
■ “Play Back Paragraph”
■ “Play Back Document”
■ “Play Back Window” (plays just the text in view)
■ “Play Back To Here” (from the top of the window to the insertion
point)
■ “Play Back From Here” (from the insertion point to the bottom of the
window)
The “Play Back Faster” command works only if you have a full-duplex sound
card. However, the Fast Playback button on the Extras toolbar works with all sound
cards.
