The alternative you are editing is now the "target" for dictation and commands. You can edit
using Dictation mode or Spelling mode, or use your keyboard to type in edits to Correction
alternatives.
2. Say "Choose <number>" (choose whichever alternative you edited) when you are done.
l To exit Correction without making a change, say "Cancel correction" or "Cancel edit."
When you choose a correction, Dragon modifies its speech model and saves this information into your profile.
Smart Formatting
After some types of corrections, Dragon's smart formatting feature may ask how you want to automatically format this
text in the future.
For example, if you dictate "kilograms," Dragon will write "kg" if the default Auto format settings are selected.
1. To write out the word "kilogram," say "Correct kilograms."
The Correction window offers a list of options similar to the one below.
2. Say "Choose 2" to select "kilograms."
The Smart Format Rules window appears, asking whether you want Dragon to write out the word "kilograms"
every time you say "kilograms."
3. To change the Auto Format rule, say "Choose <number>" (in this case, "Choose 1").
If you don't want to change the formatting rules in this case, if you normally want Dragon to write "kg" when
you say "kilogram" simply resume dictating text, and the Smart Format Rules window will close.
Smart formatting rules are turned on by default when you install Dragon, but you can turn them off in the
Advanced Preferences pane.
