The “Play Back Faster” command only works if you have a full-duplex sound
card. However, the Fast Playback button on the Extras toolbar works with all sound
cards.
While your dictation is being played back, you can press the left arrow
key to back up, the right arrow key to go faster, and the down arrow key
When you save a document in Microsoft
® Word, Corel ® WordPerfect ® , or
the DragonPad, you’ll be asked if you want to save the audio recording
of your speech. If you click Yes, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® will create a
file with the same name as your text document, but with the extension
“.dra.” This .dra file contains the audio. These audio files are quite
large. To conserve hard disk space, be sure to delete them when they are
no longer needed.
Because of memory constraints, Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® can play back
only your last 100 utterances (defined by the pauses in your speech). To increase the
amount of transcribed text you can play back, try speaking in longer phrases without
pausing for a breath or increase the “Pause between phrases” setting. (From the Tools
menu on the DragonBar, choose Options and click the Miscellaneous tab.)
If playback is unavailable
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will not play back your recorded
voice, you still need to figure out what you said so that you can correct
your text.
Try pronouncing the misrecognized words aloud. The sound may
remind you of what the words were supposed to be. For example:
■ The program types: “…make sure speech patterns…”
■
Say it aloud to remember what you said: “… makes your speech
patterns…”
For complex or difficult dictation that would be hard to reconstruct, have
a handheld recorder running on your desk as you speak. This serves as a
backup recording of what you said. It’s time-consuming to go back and
listen to the whole recording, but it’s reassuring to know it’s there if
needed.
The most efficient and least frustrating solution for correcting your text
is to have fewer mistakes to begin with. If your accuracy is around 95
percent or better, most of the mistakes made by Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
will be easy to correct without audio playback.
