Tips for dictating text
nTo erase the last thing you said, say “Sc ratch Tha t.”
nYou can repeat “Scr atch Tha t” to undo a sequence of
phrases.
nTo undo the effects of a command, say “Un do That. ” If
“Undo T hat” fails to undo an action, try repeating the
command until you completely undo the operation.
nTo stop a recognition in progress (and turn the microphone
off), click the small red button inside the Results Box.
nYou can change the very last phrase you spoke by saying
“Bold That, ” “Cap Tha t,” “Cor rect Tha t,” and so on; you
do not have to select the text first.
nTo remove a trailing space after a word, you can say “D elete
Previ ous Char acter.”
nYou can create a spoken form for words you prefer not to say
aloud. For example, you can create a command that types
“Snookums” whenever you say “Ma ry's nick name.”
nTo clear (deselect) your last selection, say “Un select T hat.”

Using the Dictation Box
Normally you can dictate and use Dragon voice commands in
any text window of any application. However, you may
occasionally find an application or a specific window in an
application where some voice commands won’t work or won’t
work consistently.
In these situations, you can use a special window, called the
Dictation Box. You use the Dictation Box to dictate and edit text
in these non-standard windows without the difficulties you
might otherwise experience.
