Selecting the same text again
If the words you’re trying to select appear more than once on the screen
and Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
selects the wrong ones, just say “Select
Again.” The program then looks for another instance of the same word or
words.
You can also say “Select Again” if Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
selects a
word that sounds like the word you want, but is not the correct one (for
example, “two” instead of “too”).
Unselecting words
To undo the selection, say “Unselect That.”
You can also “unselect” words by moving your insertion point (by mouse
or voice) to another part of your document. For example, say “Go to End
of Line” or click somewhere else in your document.
Selecting a longer phrase
You can select a longer phrase by saying “Select [text] Through [text]” (US/
Canada
) or “Select [text] To [text]” (Other Dialects). For [text], substitute
the actual word or words at the beginning and the end of the range of
wrong words. For example, you could correct the underlined words in
the following sentence:
With a little practice, who will develop a habit of dictating an unclear
,
steady voice, and the computer will understand you better.
by saying:
(US/Canada) “Select who Through unclear” or “Select who will Through an
unclear”
(Other Dialects) “Select who To unclear” or “Select who will To an unclear”
Then dictate the correct text:
“you will develop the habit of dictating in a clear”
The final corrected sentence reads:
