CHAPTER 4
Correcting and Editing
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 49
You can also delete a number of words or characters (up to 20). For
example, you can say
“Delete Previous 5 Words.”
See the complete list
below:
Another way to delete the previous character is by saying “Backspace.” This is
equivalent to pressing the BACKSPACE key. You can “press” it multiple times (up to 20) by
saying, for example, “Backspace 5.”
Keyboard editing shortcuts
If you prefer to edit by typing, you can speed up your work by using
keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts are not specific to Dragon
NaturallySpeaking

you spend editing. Take the time to learn them—ten minutes spent
practicing with these keys can save you many hours in editing.
