Correcting quickly

Many people find it convenient to dictate their document first, then go
back and correct mistakes afterwards. For a discussion of the fastest ways
to work, see “Speaking and Dictating,” on page 143.

The Correction menu is designed to make correcting mistakes faster and
easier, but you don’t have to use it. Feel free to disregard it and make
corrections by keyboard, mouse, or voice, just as you would edit any
word-processed document.

Accuracy improves only when you select, then
correct

To get the most accuracy improvement when making corrections to
your document, you must first select the word or words before
correcting them. Using, for example, the

BACKSPACE

key and

retyping or saying “Scratch That” will correct the text in your
document, but will not make Dragon NaturallySpeaking

learn from

its mistakes and improve recognition accuracy.

It is sometimes fastest to get your work done using the

BACKSPACE

key,

DELETE

key, “Scratch That,” and other editing methods

different from “select, then correct.” It is fine to use these
techniques and any other ways that you prefer to edit your
documents. Your accuracy will not improve, but it will not get any
worse either.

For best results, make corrections by selecting, then correcting as
often as you can, but don’t be concerned if you’re correcting your
documents in other ways as well.
