Correcting Your Dictation

Now you have some text that shows text formatting. However, some parts of your

dictation may have been misrecognized by ViaVoice. The process of correcting your

dictation is dynamic; in other words, while you correct, you also help ViaVoice to learn

how to identify your own particular speech pattern and add each element of change to

your Voice Model.

Each time you dictate and make corrections, you make it easier for

ViaVoice to recognize your voice. Highlight the misrecognized word or

phrase and re-dictate or type the correct word. Get in the habit of correcting

misrecognized words every time you dictate. This, in turn, should result in

fewer corrections needed in future dictation sessions.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will only cover some routine correction functions. For

more detailed information, see "Correcting Text in SpeakPad" on page 38.

TIP

Correction is only available with dictated text in SpeakPad.
