When Dragon has incorrectly typed what you said in Dictation mode, use Correction to correct Dragon's interpretation
of what you said. This helps improve recognition over time.
Correction may not be available while you are dictating in certain applications. Check the Guidance
window for information about what Dragon can do in your current application.
Showing the Correction window
l If you want the Correction window showing whenever you dictate:
1. Click the in the menu bar and select Preferences…
2. Open the Advanced pane.
3. Select Always Show Correction Window When Dictating.
l To open the Correction window during a specific dictation session:
1. Click the Windows menu ( ) in the Status window.
2. Select Show Correction.
l To call the Correction window when you need it, use Correction commands, such as "Correct that" or
"Correct <text>."
The Correction Window presents a phrase as Dragon understood it, which may sometimes be slightly
longer or shorter than the text you had selected. Dragon understands your speech in short phrases, or
utterances, which it defines partly based on where you paused while dictating.
Making a correction
1. Do one of the following to select text for correction:
l Say "Correct <text>," or "Correct that."
l Select the text, then use the Correction hot key (by default, ⌘ F9).
The Correction window presents alternative interpretations of the word or phrase you selected to correct.
The number of alternatives is limited by your setting for Maximum number of alternatives in the
Advanced Preferences pane.
2. Review the list of options.
l If one of the Correction alternatives is correct, say "Choose <number>" (select the number
corresponding to the correct choice).
l If none of the Correction alternatives are correct, edit one of the alternatives to match what you said:
1. Say "Edit <number>." It doesn't matter which alternative you choose to edit.
