Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide

One of the most effective ways to proof and correct a transcription is simply to
select the entire transcription and play it back. During playback, you can press the right
arrow key to speed up the playback and the left arrow key to slow it down. When you
see a mistake, just press the down arrow key to open the Correction dialog box.
When you are working in the Correction dialog box, click Play Back to
play the dictation that goes with the words in the Correction dialog box.
Then edit the text to match what you said.
You can set up Dragon NaturallySpeaking to play back dictation automatically
whenever you open the Correction dialog box. From the NaturallySpeaking menu, point
to Advanced, and click Options. In the Options dialog box, click the Correction tab and
select “Automatic playback on correction.”

is not already open. (On the DragonBar click the Users button and click
the name of the user.)
2 Make sure the recorder is connected to the serial port of your computer.
3 Click the Microphone button on the DragonBar so the microphone is on
( ).
4 Wait until the recorder display reads “Mic On.” This takes about two or
three seconds after you click on the Microphone button.
