In this example, you would choose the correct word from the
Correction menu by saying “Choose” and the number next to your
choice.
You can change the number of choices displayed to you. In the Options
dialog box, click the Correction tab and increase the number in “Show no
more than n choices.” If you want to display your choices without the
Correction menu taking up too much space on the screen, select the “Show
only the choices” option. See the online help for more information.
When the Correction menu list appears, you can also choose to:
■ spell the word (in this example, say “Spell That q-u-i-c-k”). Selecting
a large amount of text and then saying “Spell That” can produce
unpredictable results.
■ Pressing the Correction hot key (-) while the Correction menu is
open will display the Spell Dialog box.
■ listen to a recording of what you just said (say “Play That Back”)
■ capitalize it (say “Cap That,” in this example, to get “Clinic”)
■ say “Unselect That” to cancel the selection and close (dismiss) the
Correction menu
■ ignore the Correction list and keep dictating (in the example above,
just say “quick,” which replaces the selected text)
If you prefer not to see the Correction menu every time you select text
by voice, you can turn it off. In the Options dialog box, click the Correction
tab to display the Correction options, then clear the check box “‘Select’
commands bring up Correction menu.”
To help you quickly find the alternative you want, the recognition
choices in the Correction menu appear in boldface where they differ
