9 At first, uttering the whole command can be tricky for commands that quote words from your text,
such as select… through… and insert before…. As usual, deciding what you are going to say before
starting to speak is recommended. If you paused mid-command, just say scratch that, pause, and give
the complete command again.
9 If the word or phrase you want to select appears in several places, you can use select <xyz>, followed
by the command select again to move to the next instance.
9 The commands that quote your text (select <xyz>, bold <xyz>, correct <xyz>, insert after <xyz>…)
work thanks to a functionality called Select-and-Say™, which depends on Dragon’s ability to constantly
obtain information from the text field—for instance, in order to know where words and sentences begin
and end, so Dragon can apply spacing between words and capitalization at the beginning of a
sentence...
9 If the text area in which you are dictating is “non-standard”, remember that if needed you can say Cap
to start a sentence and spacebar to create a space, as well as use the Dictation Box—a text window
that has full “Select-and-Say” functionality: when you are finished, the content is transferred to your
original location. (See the Help for more details.)
9 You can modify the Dictation Box’s appearance and behavior from its Settings button; in addition, you
can modify its hot key in the Options dialog and give its command one or more alternate names.
9 You can set the Dictation Box to behave differently depending on the application from which you
opened it.
