To dictate unusual text such as automobile license plate numbers or
product codes, you can also switch to Spell mode by saying “Switch To
Spell Mode,” and then dictate letters.
You can make the Spell dialog box appear whenever you use the
Spell command by setting the “Spell” commands bring up the Spell
dialog box option on the Correction tab in the Options dialog box.
See the online help for more information.
You can also access the Spell dialog box when using the Select or
Correct commands.
For a list of how to spell special characters, see the Spelling topic
in the online Help.
Playing back your dictation
Playback commands work in the DragonPad, Microsoft Word
(Versions 97, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2007), Corel WordPerfect
(Versions 8, 9, 10, and 12), and Lotus Notes.
Although Dragon never makes a spelling mistake, the mistakes
it does make can be challenging to find and fix. Sometimes, what
the program types looks very different from what you actually
said.
To make correcting mistakes easier, Dragon records your voice
as you dictate. You can play back your voice whenever you
cannot tell by looking at your document what you originally
said.
Unless you have Dragon Professional or a higher edition,
playback is available only until you close a document. After you close a
document, Dragon deletes the recorded dictation for that document.
See page 88 for information on saving dictation for later correction
(Professional and higher editions).

Playing back dictation from the Correction menu

When you’re working in the Correction menu, click the Play
Back button or say “Play T hat Back ”to play the dicta tion that
goes with the words you’re correcting. Then edit the text to
match what you said.
