Note that when performing a correction, it can be useful to provide some context for the word(s) in error: for

instance, to correct "a" in "sent a request," you may want to say “correct sent a” or "correct sent a request."

The Correction Menu

By default, when you say a command starting with the word "correct,” Dragon brings up the Correction Menu,

which lists alternative transcriptions. (In the example illustrated below, the speaker said “correct Madison.”)

If what you had said is in the list of choices, •

you can pick it by voice (say "choose" followed

by the number of the desired choice) or by

hand (clicking on the desired choice, or using

the down arrow).

If it is not, you can click or say "spell that" •

which opens the Spelling Window. There, you

can indicate the correct transcription using

voice, keyboard, mouse, or a combination.

(Note that the last item on the Correction menu gives

you direct access to the Options dialog’s Correction

tab. By default, the Correction menu also appears

when you use the command “select <xyz>”)

Correcting in the Spelling Window

Some users prefer the Spelling Window to be the

default interface for Correction, in order to be able to

act directly if Dragon doesn’t show their desired

transcription in its choice list (instead of having to use

“spell that” from the Correction menu).

This requires making changing one of the options on

the Correction tab of Dragon’s Options dialog. Here is

one way to do this: say “open Dragon options”, then

say “Correct commands bring up Spelling Window”

(or click that option’s checkbox).

With this option set, saying commands that start with

“correct” opens the Spelling Window. (So do the

Correction button on the expanded DragonBar and the

Correction hotkey—the numeric minus by default).

As you will see, there are many ways to indicate in

the Spelling Window what should have been

recognized—including spelling out individual

characters, hence the name “Spelling Window.”
