Tips for dictating text

nTo erase the last thing you said, say “Scratch That.”

nYou can repeat “Scratch That” to undo a sequence of phrases.

nTo undo the effects of a command, say “Undo That.” If “Undo That” 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 That,” “Correct That,” and so on; you do not have to select the text first.

nTo remove a trailing space after a word, you can say “Delete Previous Character.”

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 “Mary's nickname.”

nTo clear (deselect) your last selection, say “Unselect That.”

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.
