alphabet, shown on your Command Reference card, to spell words. The digits 0
to 9 and the special characters shown on the card may also be spoken in spell
mode.
To exit spell mode and continue with normal dictation, say "Return" or
"Cancel". If you switch focus to another window, you will automatically exit
spell mode.
When the Correction window has focus, you do not need to say "Begin spell"
to enter a word by spelling.
Saying commands while dictating
You can say commands to navigate through the text of your dictation and to
control SpeakPad. Pause briefly before and after you say a voice command.
However, do not pause while you are saying the words of the command itself.
If ViaVoice misrecognizes your command as text and types it on the screen,
say "Scratch that", then say the command again.
Inline dictation commands
You can edit and format text using the inline dictation commands and
text-editing commands. View these commands in the Dictation and Text
Editing views in the What Can I Say window and on the Command Reference
card.
v Say commands such as "Capital letter", "Uppercase", "Lowercase" and
"Spacebar" to format text.
v Say "<command> on" to keep the command active until you say
"<command> off". For example, say "Capitalize on" to capitalize all words
until you say "Capitalize off".
v Say "<command> this" to edit the next word or first letter of the next word.
For example, say "Underline this".
Say "What Can I Say for Dictation" to view other commands.
"Scratch that" command
Should your command be recognized as text, say "Scratch that", which
removes the unwanted text, then say the command again.
This command can also be used to restore text. For example, if you selected
text and then said a command that ViaVoice recognized as text, the
misrecognized text replaced what you had selected previously. Undo the
replacement by saying "Scratch that".
