changed it to another key using the Options settings. The computer will
select your last utterance.
If the selected text is correct, press the right arrow key to move to the
next passage. Continue proofreading and pressing the right arrow key
until you find a mistake.
If one of the choices on the Correction menu matches what you said:
1 Press the down arrow key to move to the correct choice.
2 Press the right arrow key to accept that choice and move on.
If what you said is not listed on the Correction menu:
1 Type the correct text.
2 Press the Correction hot key to continue proofreading.
When typing the correct text, sometimes you’ll want to change just a
word or two of what the computer highlighted and you won’t want to
retype the whole phrase. You can either use the mouse to move to the
words you want to correct or press the
ESC key and then the arrow keys
to move to the words you want to correct. In either case, after you’ve
finished typing the correct words, press the Correction hot key to
continue proofreading.
For maximum efficiency when working by keyboard, use the keyboard editing
shortcuts shown on page 51.
As you proofread, the program will select a group of words. Sometimes it
may select an utterance that is a bit different from the group of words
that you want to correct. If this happens, use the mouse to select the
group of words you want, then press the Correction hot key.
Correcting with audio playback
Like the “correcting by typing” method above, this correction method
lets you work through the document from top to bottom, keeping your
hands on the keyboard. In this method, you’ll also hear the sound of your
recorded voice to help you proofread. (In Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
Preferred, this feature is available only while you are working in the
current dictation session.)
