Dragon NaturallySpeaking types:
I liked your proposal. Why don't you Web if I it and have the rest of the
team take a look?
To correct the text, say “Select Web if I,” then “Spell That w-e-b-i-f-y.”
Then click or say “OK.”
When one of the choices in the Correction dialog box is almost correct,
you can select it and use it as a starting point without entering the text
into your document. Just click it or say “Select” (not “Choose”) and then
the number of the choice. For example, say “Select 3” (or “Select Numeral
3”). Then edit the word or phrase.
Spelling in the Correction dialog box
You can either spell text by voice or type it here. You cannot dictate
whole words into the Correction dialog box.
When you’re spelling, this is what you can say:
■
letters (a–z)
■
International Communications Alphabet (alpha, bravo, and so
on)
■
numbers (0–9)
■
punctuation
■
“Cap” (to capitalize the next letter)
■
“Double” (to enter the next letter twice, for example,
“Double a”)
■
“Space Bar” or “space” (to insert a space)
■
“Backspace”
■
“apostrophe ess”
■
special characters (such as @, *, £, ©, and é)
For a complete list of special characters and the International
Communications Alphabet, see “Correction dialog box commands”
on page 177 of Appendix B.
