Correcting and Editing

Selecting a longer phrase

You can select a longer phrase by saying “Select [text] Through [text]” (US/Canada) or “Select [text] To [text]” (Other Dialects).

With a little practice, who will develop a habit of dictating an unclear, steady voice, and the computer will understand you better.

by saying:

(US/Canada) “Select who Through unclear” or “Select who will Through an unclear”

(Other Dialects) “Select who To unclear” or “Select who will To an unclear”

Then dictate the correct text:

“you will develop the habit of dictating in a clear”

The final corrected sentence reads:

With a little practice, you will develop the habit of dictating in a clear, steady voice, and the computer will understand you better.

NOTE: If you’re correcting more than one word, the words must all be in sequence (next to each other). You can’t use a single command to correct words that are in different parts of your document.

Selecting your whole document

To select all the text in your document, say “Select Document” or “Select All.” This command is useful when you want to change the font or the way text is aligned.

When you want to copy all the text in a document to another window, the easiest way to do it is with the “Copy All to Clipboard” command.

NOTE: When a lot of text is selected, the “Scratch That” and “Cut That” commands don’t work, nor can you overwrite the selection by dictating new text. This prevents you from accidentally deleting a large part of
