Moving right or left a word or character
You can move right or left a word by saying “Move Right a Word” or “Move
Left a Word.” You can also move right or left a number of words (up to 20).
For example, you can say “Move Right 3 Words.”
You can move to the next or previous character by saying “Move Right a
Character” or “Move Left a Character.” You can also move forward and
backward a number of characters (up to 20). For example, you can say
“Move Left 4 Characters.”
See the complete list below:

Using Select-and-Say
You can revise your dictation without correcting it by selecting the text
using the “Select” command and then saying new words to replace the

Important!
When text is selected, be careful not to breathe loudly, clear your
throat, or make other sounds. Dragon NaturallySpeaking may
interpret such noises as speech and replace the selection with new
text. If this happens, say “Undo That” right away to reverse the
action.
