Deleting text

Deleting the last words you dictated

You can erase the last words you dictated by saying “Scratch That.” When
you say this command, Dragon NaturallySpeaking

®

deletes the last thing

it typed into your document. This may be a full sentence, a phrase, or
just one word, if that’s all you said before pausing.

You can say “Scratch That” up to 10 times to delete the last few things
you said. If you repeat the command, you must pause before saying it
again. You can also say, for example, “Scratch That 5 Times.”

Going back as you dictate

When you’re dictating, sometimes you may hesitate or think of a better
way to say something right after you’ve said it. When this happens, you
can use the “Resume With” command to return to where you were before
the mistake.

Just say “Resume With” followed immediately by the word or words to
which you want to return. Then, continue dictating. Any text after the
new position of the insertion point will be replaced with your new
dictation.

When using the “Resume With” command, remember not to pause in the

middle. Say “Resume With” and then immediately say the words to which you want to
return. These words must be in the last three or four sentences (100 characters) you said;
you can’t use “Resume With” to return to an earlier part of your document.

To go back as you dictate:

Suppose you dictate this sentence: “I have a deadline this week, but we could
meet for lunch… um… er… next Wednesday.”
