Q U I C K S T A R T
How do I revise text?
How do I undo an unwanted
change?
18
If you want to change some words, you can select the text by using the
mouse or keyboard and then dictate something to replace it.
This is an easy way to revise wrong words, but it's not a good way to
correct speech-recognition errors. Only by using the Correction dialog
box can you teach Dragon NaturallySpeaking your pronunciation.
Correcting mistakes vs. revising
Sometimes words are wrong because you change your mind about
what you want to say, not because Dragon NaturallySpeaking makes
a mistake. For example, you dictate "Tuesday," and then decide it
should be "Monday." Never use the Correction dialog box to make
this kind of change. Doing so would cause Dragon
NaturallySpeaking to associate the sound of one word with the
written form of another.
Use the Correction dialog box only when you're correcting speech-
recognition mistakes. To revise text when you change your mind,
use the mouse and keyboard.
You can undo the last action by saying "Undo That" (or pressing
+
).This is useful for undoing the action of a command, especially
CTRL
Z
one you didn't intend.
It's also useful if you accidentally delete selected text (for example, if
you mumble into the microphone when text is selected). If this happens,
just say "Undo That" immediately.
NOTE
Not all actions or commands can be undone. For example, you can't undo the
"Correct That" command by saying "Undo That."
