n If none of the alternatives is correct, say "Spell That," spell the correct word or

words into the Spelling window, and then say "OK."

3. Verify that the correct text appears in the document in place of the misrecognized text

and continue to the next misrecognition.

Using Smart Format Rules

You can also use the Smart Format Rules feature to have Dragon recognize when you correct

dictated text that corresponds to an Auto-formatting option or supported by this feature.

Dragon then displays a Smart Format Rules dialog box, offering one or more setting adjust-

ments relevant to the change you just made. If you don’t wish to change any setting, you can

just ignore the Smart Format Rules box and continue dictating, or say "Cancel" and the box

will close.

The Smart Format Rules box may appear when you make a correction using

n the Correction menu

n the Spelling window

n the keyboard.

For details, see Using Smart Format Rules, the Auto-formatting dialog box and Creating

Word Properties.

Notes

n If you select a phrase to correct that includes punctuation added to the sentence auto-

matically, the list of corrections that appears in the Correction menu will include a ver-

sion without the automatically inserted punctuation.

n When you use the Correction menu with a selection of more than 70 characters,

Dragon selects only the first sentence for correction.

n The Accuracy Center provides a central location for taking advantage of all the Dragon

tools available to ensure excellent recognition. For more information, see Using the

Accuracy Center.

n When you use the "select" or "correct" command to select any part of a hyphenated

word or a hyphen, Dragon selects the entire hyphenation. For example, in the hyphen-

ated word "brother-in-law" if you say "correct brother"because you only need to

change that, Dragon selects "brother-in-law."

Correcting text - quick reference

When you correct recognition errors, Dragon adapts your User Profile, so errors are less

likely to happen again.
