Correcting text with the keyboard
1 Move the insertion point to the beginning of the dictation you
want to correct.
2 Press the Correction hot key to display the Correction menu. By
default, this is the minus (-) key on the numeric keypad. You can
change the hot key assignment on the Hot keys tab of the Options
dialog box. You can also click the Correction button on the Extras
toolbar of the DragonBar.
3 If one of the alternatives is correct, press the Down Arrow key to
highlight that choice and then press Enter to accept it. If no
alternative is correct, just type or say the correct text.
4 Continue until all the text is correct.
Correcting text using voice commands
1 Say "Select" or “Correct” and the text that is incorrect, the
Correction menu appears with a number of alternatives.
■ If one alternative is correct, say "Choose" and the number of that
alternative.
■ If none of the alternatives is correct, say "Spell That," spell the
correct word or words into the Spell dialog box, and then say "OK."
Selecting a large amount of text or an entire document and then
saying “Spell That” can produce unpredictable results.
2 Verify that the correct text appears in the document in place of the
misrecognized text and continue to the next misrecognition.
