Deleting the next or previous word or character
You can delete the next or previous word by saying “Delete Next Word”
or “Delete Previous Word.” You can delete the next or previous character
by saying “Delete Next Character” or “Delete Previous Character.”
You can also delete a number of words or characters (up to 20). For
example, you can say “Delete Previous 5 Words.” See the complete list
below:
Another way to delete the previous character is by saying
“Backspace.” This is equivalent to pressing the BACKSPACE key. You can
“press” it multiple times (up to 20) by saying, for example, “Backspace 5.”
Spelling as you dictate
With the Spell command in Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you can easily
spell a word or phrase you want to dictate into your document. This
can be useful if you are dictating a word that is not likely to be in the
Dragon NaturallySpeaking vocabulary, such as a proprietary term, a
proper name, or a non-English word. Say, for example, “Spell b-u-o-n
space g-i-o-r-n-o.” The word you spelled appears right in your
document.
You must say “Cap” if the word contains a capital letter. For example,
say “Spell Cap R-u-m-p-e-l-s-t-i-l-s-k-i-n” to type “Rumpelstilskin.”
