example, you can click “Spell That” to open the Correction dialog box
and spell the word.
You may want to select the following on the Correction tab of the
Options dialog box:
■
“Correct” command brings up Correction dialog box
■
Automatic playback on correction box
With these settings, Dragon NaturallySpeaking will automatically play
back the author's dictation for each text selection you correct. The Quick
Correct list does not play back dictation.
When you correct someone else's dictation, make sure that the amount
of disk space you have reserved for storing dictation is at least as large as
the amount allocated for the user that created the text. You alllocate the
disk space on the Miscellaneous tab of the Options dialog box.
Saving dictation with documents can take up a lot of disk space, typically
more than a megabyte per minute of dictation. To save this space, delete
any dictation you no longer need. Dragon NaturallySpeaking saves
dictation in a file with the same name as the document, but with the
extension .dra. For example, if you dictate a document called MyDoc.rtf
and save your dictation, Dragon NaturallySpeaking saves your dictation
in a file called MyDoc.dra in the same directory as your document.
