5 Correcting and Editing
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 56
To stop playback and correct a mistake:
To stop playback and correct a mistake, do any of the following:
■ Click the Correction button on the Playback toolbar.
■ Press the minus (-) key on the numeric keypad.
This stops playback and simultaneously opens the Correction dialog box. There you
can correct the text for the last phrase played back.
By default, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 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 NaturallySpeaking menu, point to Advanced, click Options, and then click the
Miscellaneous tab. Increase the number in the “Disk space reserved for speech data” 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
NaturallySpeaking Professional and higher editions.
You can save dictation with your document if you select the Prompt to Save
Dictation with Document box on the Startup/Shutdown tab of the Options dialog.
The first time you save a document in DragonPad during an editing session, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking 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:
■ You can correct the dictation using your user files.
■ You can correct the dictation using the document author's user files.
Correcting with your user files
You should use this correction technique if you regularly correct another person's
text by voice and it is not important to maximize the author's recognition accuracy.
When you use your user files, you can correct the dictation just as you would correct
your own dictation, using any combination of voice commands and keyboard typing.
Even though you are correcting someone else's dictation, your work won't reduce
