By default, Dragon stores about 30 minutes of dictation (40 MB).
If you want to be able to store more dictation, you can change the
amount of disk space that’s set aside for storing it. On the Tools menu,
click Options, and then click the Data tab. Increase the number in the
Disk space reserved for playback box.
Dictate now, correct later
When you dictate into the DragonPad, you can save your
dictation with your text so either you or someone else can
correct it later. You must create and edit your file in the
DragonPad to be able to play back dictation. This feature is
available in Dragon Professional and higher editions.
You can save dictation with your document if you select the
Save recorded dictation with document box on the Data tab of the
Options dialog. The first time you save a document in DragonPad
during an editing session, Dragon asks you whether you want to
save your speech data. If you save your speech data, you can
reopen the document at a later time and play back your
dictation. If you do not save your speech data, your dictation is
stored only during the current editing session.

Correcting your own dictation

If you save your dictation, you can open your file later and play
back and correct the text as if you had just dictated it.

Correcting someone else’s dictation

You can play back someone else’s dictation and correct the text
to match the dictation. You can do this in two ways:
nCorrect the dictation using your own user files.
nCorrect the dictation using the document author’s user files.
