Correcting text using voice commands
1
Say "Select" or “Correct” and the text that is incorrect, the Correction menu
appears with a number of alternatives.

If one alternative is correct, say "Choose" and the number of that alternative.

If none of the alternatives is correct, say "Spell That," spell the correct word or
words into the Spell dialog box, and then say "OK."
Selecting a large amount of text or an entire document and then saying “Spell
That” can produce unpredictable results.

Verify that the correct text appears in the document in place of the
misrecognized text and continue to the next misrecognition.
