thing it typed into your document. This may be a full sentence, a phrase, or just one word, if that’s all you said before pausing.

You can say “Scratch That” up to 10 times to delete the last few things you said. If you repeat the command, you must pause before saying it again. You can also say, for example, “Scratch That 5 Times.”

Going back as you dictate

When you’re dictating, sometimes you may hesitate or think of a better way to say something right after you’ve said it. When this happens, you can use the “Resume With” command to return to where you were before the mistake.

Just say “Resume With” followed immediately by the word or words to which you want to return. Then, continue dictating. Any text after the new position of the insertion point will be replaced with your new dictation.

NOTE: When using the “Resume With” command, remember not to pause in the middle. Say “Resume With” and then immediately say the words to which you want to return. These words must be in the last three or four sentences (100 characters) you said; you can’t use “Resume With” to return to an earlier part of your document.

To go back as you dictate:

1Suppose you dictate this sentence: “I have a deadline this week, but we could meet for lunch… um… er… next Wednesday.”

2To correct the sentence, return to the last correct words you remember dictating. For example, say “Resume With meet for lunch.” (Remember not to pause in the middle.)

3Then, dictate the rest of the sentence. For example, say “next Wednesday at noon.”
