Correcting mistakes with Quick Correct
In the DragonPad, correcting a mistake is quick and easy. Just select the
mistake and choose the correct word or phrase from the Quick Correct
list.
To correct a mistake with Quick Correct:
1 Dictate until Dragon NaturallySpeaking misrecognizes a word. For
example, dictate this sentence:
US/Canada: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog [period]
Other Dialects: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog [full stop]
In the following example, Dragon NaturallySpeaking heard the word
“quick” as “dark.”
2 Select the mistake. You can select the text you just dictated by saying
“Select That,” or you can select a specific word or phrase by saying
“Select” followed by the word(s) you see. The Quick Correct list appears.
In this example, when you say “select dark,” the word “dark” is
highlighted and the Quick Correct list shows you the most likely
matches for the misrecognized word.
Quick Correct list
Say “Choose 1” to
replace “dark” with
“quick.”
You can also choose
to spell the word,
capitalize it, delete it,
cancel, or ignore the
Quick Correct list and
keep dictating.
