About "Scratch That"
"Scratch That" is a quick and easy way to erase wrong words, but it
won't prevent the same mistakes from happening again. Only by
correcting errors in the Correction dialog box can you teach Dragon
NaturallySpeaking not to make the same mistakes again.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesn't know it has made a mistake unless
you correct it. As you correct its mistakes, you actually teach the program
not to make the same mistakes again.
To correct your last word or phrase:

able to recognize it correctly.

dialog box. The box displays the last words Dragon NaturallySpeaking
