Record an instruction
Instructions are recorded comments by
the author that are directed to the person
transcribing the dictation. SpeechExec
supports two types of instructions:
•
Spoken instructions
are stored within
the dictation sound file at the position
where the instruction was actually
recorded.
Examples: the correct spelling of a
name or technical term, or instructions
to insert a new paragraph
•
Special instructions
are usually
recorded at the start of a dictation
with special information relating to the
dictation. Special instructions are stored
in a separate sound file.
Examples: document formatting
instructions, names of individuals to
receive copies, or delivery instructions
