Chapter 10: Making Corrections
Correcting text errors as you dictate
Correcting misrecognized commands
Notes
n
Remember that letting Dragon adapt its Vocabulary to your own words and phrases will prevent many recognition errors. If a word is not in Dragon's active Vocabulary,
Dragon can't recognize it accurately. The Accuracy Center provides a central location for taking advantage of all the Dragon tools available to ensure excellent recognition.
For more information, see Using the Accuracy Center
.
n
If you get a message in the New DragonBar or Classic DragonBar that there is nothing to correct, select the text you want to correct and say "Correct That" again (or press the Correction hot key or click the Correction button).
n
If you select a phrase to correct that includes a comma or period added to the sentence automatically, the list of corrections that appears in the Correction menu will include a version without the automatically inserted punctuation.
n
To dictate the word "correct" at the beginning of an utterance (that is, as the first word after a pause), either say "correct" and then pause, or hold down the Shift key while you speak to force Dragon to recognize the word as dictation and not as a command.
You can change the key that you press to control this behavior on the Hot keys tab of the Options dialog box.
Choosing the correct text
In the Correction menu and the Spelling window, Dragon offers a selection of recognition alternatives. Use the following procedure to choose the alternative you want.
To choose the correct text
If the correct text is one of the alternatives listed, say "Choose" and then say the number of the alternative in the list. As an option, you can press the ALT key and type the number of the alternative from the keyboard (not the numeric keypad).
The text you choose replaces the text in your document.
Example:
If the correct text is the third alternative, say "Choose 3."
Notes
n
Dragon's Smart Format Rules dialog box may appear when you correct autoformatted alphanumeric text using the Correction command, the Spelling window, or
the keyboard. For details, see Using Smart Format Rules
and Automatically Format
Text.
n
When selecting an alternative on the correction menu, say "Choose" and the number of that alternative. For example, "Choose Two." Do not say "Choose Numeral Two" or Dragon will transcribe the phrase as the text "Choose Numeral Two" or "Choose 2"
