another text editor. Using the Playback feature, you can play back the text you just
dictated and use it to easily correct any errors with the Correction window. For more
information, see "Playing Back Dictated Text in SpeakPad" on page 48.
If you correct words in your document while dictating, you should allow ViaVoice to
check for new words in the documents automatically when you save your document in

You can dictate a document, save the dictation session file, and delay correction or
editing until later. You can only use delayed correction if you have saved a previous
dictation session in SpeakPad. For more information, see "Saving a File" on page 62.

Hands-Free Correction

You can correct your misrecognized words, hands-free, by using voice
commands. Follow the steps below for the best results when correcting hands-

To prevent ViaVoice from picking up environmental noise and
other room sounds,
when dictating or correcting.
Correcting words as you dictate in SpeakPad updates your personal
vocabulary, which helps improve recognition accuracy by immediately
teaching ViaVoice new words and phrases. This way, if you say the word
again while you are dictating the same document, ViaVoice is more likely
to recognize it correctly.
