Correcting By Voice - IBM VIAVOICE 10-PERSONAL EDITION User Manual

Correcting by voice

The following describes how to correct a misrecognized word in a dictated
document in the SpeakPad window.
1. Select the word or phrase to correct by saying "Correct <text>". In this
example, say "Correct learned". (If the wrong occurrence of the word or
phrase is selected, say "Try Again", and ViaVoice selects the next
occurrence.) If you want to hear what you actually said for the word or
phrase, say "Play this".
2. The selected word or phrase appears in the Correction window with a
numbered list of similar sounding words. These words are called alternate
words.
3. Say "Pick <n>" (where <n> is the number of the alternate word) to select
an alternate word. The selected word replaces the word on the screen.
4. Continue proofreading until you finish correcting all misrecognized text.
Say "Go to Top" to move to the beginning of your document or "Go to
Bottom" to move to the end of your document.
If a word does not appear in the list, we recommend you use this technique
to correct the word.
1. Say "Return to text" to return control to the dictation window.
2. Re-dictate the word or phrase you wanted. If this works, you can continue
proofreading.
