Correcting and Editing

You can set up Dragon to play back dictation automatically whenever you open the Correction menu. On the Dragon menu, select Tools > Options > Correction tab. On the Correction tab, select Automatic playback on correction.

Sometimes, there’s no dictation to play back. For example, you cannot play back text that wasn’t entered by voice, such as words you typed or pasted into your document.

NOTE: Even when you have entered text by voice, you cannot play it back after you have cut it, copied it, pasted it, or otherwise moved it around in the document.

If you have Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional or a higher edition, you can save your dictation with your document for later playback (see Dictate now, correct later on page 88). Otherwise, you cannot play back dictation after closing a document.

If dictation is not available, the Play Back button is dimmed (grayed out). When playback is not available, you may find text- to-speech useful for checking your work. See Notes on correcting with another author’s user files on page 90.

Playing back dictation in a document

To help you check your work for mistakes, you can play back a line, a paragraph, a selection, or the whole document. After playback starts, you can stop it as soon as you notice a mistake and automatically open the Correction menu.

The Playback toolbar is an extra section of the DragonBar that is normally hidden. To see the Playback toolbar, click the double

chevron icon	on the DragonBar to open the Extras toolbar.
