To add a word by correcting it:
1 Dictate the following sentence. The word “Punxsutawney”
(pronounced punks-ah-tawny) is in the backup dictionary, not the active
vocabulary, so Dragon NaturallySpeaking won’t recognize it correctly on
the first try.
Meet me in Punxsutawney [comma] Pennsylvania
When the program makes a mistake (for example, types “punk said
Tony” instead of “Punxsutawney”), correct the mistake.
2 (In the DragonPad) Select the mistake by saying “Select punk said Tony.”
The Quick Correct list will appear with the most likely choices for the
word you selected.
“Select” commands and the Quick Correct list are available in the DragonPad
(see page 16), but steps 1–3 may not work in all programs. To correct a word and make
it active in any program, you can always select the word by voice or mouse and then say
“Spell That” (steps 4 and 5).
3 If the word you want appears in the Quick Correct list, say (for example)
“Choose 2.” You can say any number that appears in the list.
If the word you want does not appear in the Quick Correct list, or if the
Quick Correct list does not appear at all, select the word by voice or
mouse and use steps 4 and 5 below.
