Selecting a longer phrase
You cans elect a longer phrase by saying “Sel ect [te xt] Thro ugh
[text ]”(US/Canada) or “Sel ect [text] To [text]” (Other Dialects) .
For [text], substitute the actual word or words at the beginning
and the end of the range of wrong words. For example, you
could correct the underlined words in the following sentence:
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)“Sel ect who Thr ough uncl ear” or “Se lect who
will Th rough an u nclear”
(Other Dialects) “Sel ect who To un clear” or “ Select w ho will To
an uncl ear”
Then dictate the correct text:
“you wil l develop t he habit o f dictati ng 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.
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 “Se lect Docu ment”
or “Sele ct All.” This co mmand 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
Clipb oard” command.
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
