Unselecting words
If the wrong text is selected, 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:
With a little practice, you will develop the habit of dictating in a clear,
steady voice, and the computer will understand you better.
If you’re correcting more than one word, the words must all be in
sequence (next to each other). You can’t use a single command to correct
words that are in different parts of your document.
Selecting your whole document
To select all the text in your document, say “Select Document” or “Select
All.” This command is useful when you want to change the font or the
way text is aligned.
