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 “Scra tch That ”up to 10 times to delete th e last few
things you said. If you repeat the command, you must pause
before saying it again. You can also say, for example, “Sc ratch
That 5 T imes.”
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 “Resu me With” c ommand to return to
where you were before the mistake.
Just say “Resu me With” followed immediately by the w ord 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.
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 hav e a deadlin e this
week, b ut we could m eet for lun ch… um… er… n ext
Wedne sday .”
2To correct the sentence, return to the last correct words you
remember dictating. For example, say “Res ume With m eet
for lun ch.” (Remember not to pause in the middle.)
3Then, dictate the rest of the sentence. For example, say “nex t
Wedne sday at noo n.���
