again along with the ones you want to change.
Selecting the same text again
If the words you're trying to select appear more than once on the screen and Dragon
NaturallySpeaking selects the wrong ones, just say "Select Again." The program then
looks for another instance of the same word or words.
You can also say "Select Again" if Dragon NaturallySpeaking selects a word that
sounds like the word you want, but is not the correct one (for example, "two"
