At first, uttering the whole command can be tricky for commands that quote words from your text, 

such as select… through… and insert before…. As usual, deciding what you are going to say before

starting to speak is recommended. If you paused mid-command, just say scratch that, pause, and give

the complete command again.

The commands that quote your text (select <xyz>, bold <xyz>, correct <xyz>, insert after <xyz>…) 

work thanks to a functionality called Full Text Control (formerly Select-and-Say), which depends on

Dragon’s ability to constantly obtain information from the text field—for instance, in order to know

where words and sentences begin and end, so Dragon can apply spacing between words and

capitalization at the beginning of a sentence...

If the text area in which you are dictating is “unknown”, remember that if needed you can say Cap to 

start a sentence and spacebar to create a space, as well as use the Dictation Box—a text window that

has Full Text Control: when you are finished, the content is transferred to your original location. (See

the Help for more details.)

You can modify the Dictation Box’s appearance and behavior from its Settings button; in addition, you 

can modify its hot key in the Options dialog and give its command one or more alternate names.

You can set the Dictation Box to behave differently depending on the application from which you 

opened it.
