CHAPTER 2 Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Successfully Sometimes, there's no dictation to play back.

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 26). Otherwise, you cannot play back dictation after closing a document. If dictation is not available, the Play Back button is dimmed (grayed out).
