To copy, cut, or paste text:
1 Select the text you want to copy or cut.
2 Say “Copy That” or “Cut That.”
3 Move the insertion point to where you want to paste the text.
4 Say “Paste That.”
Deleting text
Deleting the last words you dictated
You can erase the last words you dictated by saying “Scratch That.”
When you say this command, Dragon NaturallySpeaking deletes the
last thing it typed into your document. This may be a full sentence, a
phrase, or just one word, if that’s all you said before pausing.
You can say “Scratch That” up to 10 times to delete the last few things
you said. If you repeat the command, you must pause before saying it
again. You can also say, for example, “Scratch That 5 Times.”
Going back as you dictate
When you’re dictating, sometimes you may hesitate or think of a
better way to say something right after you’ve said it. When this
happens, you can use the “Resume With” command to return to where
you were before the mistake.
Just say “Resume With” followed immediately by the word or words to
which you want to return. Then, continue dictating. Any text after the
new position of the insertion point will be replaced with your new
dictation.
When using the “Resume With” command, remember not to pause
in the middle. Say “Resume With” and then immediately say the words to
which you want to return. These words must be in the last three or four
sentences (100 characters) you said; you can’t use “Resume With” to return to
an earlier part of your document.
