Playing back your dictation while you correct
Dictation playback is available in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking
Preferred and Professional editions.
Playback commands work in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking window,
Microsoft Word 97 and 2000, and Corel WordPerfect 8 and 9.
Although Dragon NaturallySpeaking never makes a spelling error, the
mistakes it does make can be challenging to find and fix. Sometimes,
what the program types looks very different from what you actually said.
To make correcting mistakes easier, Dragon NaturallySpeaking records
your voice as you dictate. You can play back your voice whenever you
can’t tell by looking at your document what you originally said.
Playback is available only until you close a document. After you close a
document, Dragon NaturallySpeaking deletes the recorded dictation for that document.
Playing back dictation in the Correction dialog box
When you’re working in the Correction dialog box, click the Play Back
button to play the dictation that goes with the words you’re correcting.
Then edit the text to match what you said.
You can set up Dragon NaturallySpeaking to play back dictation
automatically whenever you open the Correction dialog box. (On the
Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Miscellaneous tab. Select
“Automatic playback on correction.”)
