Alternate Words field in the Correction window.
Or, double-click on the word to insert it in the sentence.
For more information, see "Correcting Text in SpeakPad" on page 38.
Playback Dictated Text
Sometimes you cannot figure out what you were dictating when you are correcting
misrecognized text. You can hear the text you dictated read back in your own voice in
SpeakPad.
1. Highlight the desired text.
2. Select Playback Selection from the Dictation menu.
Basic Correction Using Commands
You can use the SCRATCH THAT command to delete text that you have dictated.
SAY> I made a mistake
SAY> SCRATCH THAT
SAY> I made a correction NEW PARAGRAPH
The last dictated text prior to the SCRATCH THAT command is removed from
SpeakPad, and you only see the sentence
I made a correction.
Another command you can use is the UNDO ACTION command. This command works
like the Undo menu item and removes the last action performed.
SAY> What could be easier QUESTION MARK than
SAY> UNDO ACTION
Your dictated sentence is removed from SpeakPad.
