Correcting mistakes
After Dragon NaturallySpeaking transcribes your dictation, make sure
you correct any mistakes. To help you check for mistakes, you can play
back your recorded voice as you read what Dragon NaturallySpeaking
transcribed. Listening to your dictation as you read the transcription will
help you identify misrecognized words or phrases.
To start playback:
Select the text you want to play back and click the button on the Extras
toolbar of the DragonBar (or press
CTRL

only your last 100 utterances (defined by the pauses in your speech). To increase the
amount of transcribed text you can play back, try speaking in longer phrases without
pausing for a breath, or increase the “Pause between phrases” setting. (From the
NaturallySpeaking menu, point to Advanced, and click Options. In the Options dialog
box, click the Miscellaneous tab.)
