The Correction menu
When you select text by voice, or select text by mouse and then press
the Correction key, the Correction menu appears. This menu shows the
software’s best guesses of alternatives to the words you have dictated
and selected.
To correct a mistake with the Correction menu:
1
Select the word or words you want to correct, then press the Correction
key (by default, this is the [
-
] key on the numeric keypad). Or say
“
Select
” plus the words you want to select. To correct the last words you
dictated, simply say “
Correct That
.” The Correction menu appears.
New in version 6
If you’ve used earlier versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
, this
new correction approach in version 6 is a significant change and
major improvement. You don’t have to figure out whether errors
were misrecognized or misspoken, or whether you are correcting a
misrecognition or editing your dictation. Whenever you select a
word, phrase, or sentence, then type or dictate the correct word or
words over it, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will learn from the
correction automatically, while knowing when not to adapt when
you rewrite your text.
