Say six o’clock  The sentence should now read “We could meet at your office at 6:00.”

3) Say select in through next  The segment “in the Boston area for a few days the week after next” is

highlighted.

Say in your area on Tuesday July fifteenth

Let’s say we now want to add a few words inside this paragraph.

4) Notice the insertion point’s current position. Say insert after dinner, then say if you have time.

5) Say insert before exclamation mark (observe the move), then say comma I hope.

TIP: If, after doing some editing in your text, you need to remove trailing white space, you can use commands

such as backspace or delete next character for a single space. You can even say backspace combined with a

number: for example, backspace 5 is like pressing the backspace key 5 times.

Dragon’s many selection and navigation commands can help you quickly edit text—whether or not this text was

created by voice. The exercise below is to be performed entirely by voice, but remember that for optimal

productivity in daily work you may use a combination of voice and keyboard/mouse.

Exercise 2: Look at the following text, dictate it, then edit it by voice as described below.

Dear Ms. Cooper,

It was nice meeting you Tuesday. I think you have some good ideas about the Johnson project! Let’s get the

team focused on this project by February.

When you have time, could you write up your comments and email them to me? I would really appreciate it.

 Edit the first sentence so it reads "meeting with you last Tuesday".

 Edit the second sentence so it reads "You have some great ideas".

 Edit the third sentence so it reads "on this important project".

 Edit the third sentence so it reads "by early February", and insert a blank line after it.

 Change the fourth sentence to “Could you please write up your notes and email them to me ASAP?”

 Edit the salutation, changing "Ms. Cooper" to "Allison".

 Edit the last sentence, removing "really", and add a closing line of "Sincerely, Susan Martin-Smith".

Which commands did you find most useful in each situation?
