Here is an example. Let’s say you dictated "contact person colon Madyssen" but Dragon wrote “medicine” instead
of the name “Madyssen”. To correct Dragon’s error, you can say correct medicine.
The Spelling Window opens. At its top is what was transcribed,
and below is a list of alternate transcriptions, each preceded
by a number.
Here is what you can do:
If what should have been transcribed IS among the choices:
say choose n (the number of the correct line). You can also
pick the correct choice by double-clicking it or using your
keyboard’s down arrow and Enter key.
If no choice is quite correct but one is close, you can save time
by modifying it instead of entering it yourself: click it, or say
modify n or edit n. In our example, you could say “edit 1” to
bring up “Madison”, then “backspace 4” then “Y S S E N”. (See
tips below.)
If what should have been transcribed is NOT listed:
enter it, then say OK (or click OK or press Enter). In our
example, you could say “cap M A D Y S S E N” then “OK”.
The Spelling Window then closes and, in your text, Dragon replaces the misrecognized segment with what you
indicated was the correct transcription.
Note: In addition to adjusting your document, Dragon also learned a bit of information to refine your profile,
and if you entered in the Spelling Window a word that was not in its active vocabulary, Dragon has now added
that word to its active vocabulary (you could now see that word in the Vocabulary Editor).
Remember that Dragon allows the use of voice but does not prohibit the use of hands; at different times one
may be quicker or easier than the other. In the edit line of the Spelling Window, it can be faster to make
modifications with mouse or keyboard; however you can perform correction entirely by voice.
You cannot dictate words in the Spelling Window. However, you can dictate:
Individual characters: letters, digits, space, symbols (see your documentation for details)
Commands like “backspace 5”, “move right 4 characters”, “delete next word”, “select line”
As you enter characters, Dragon presents new choices in the list, so you may not have to enter all characters!
