Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide

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 recognition accuracy

for either you or the person who dictated the text. But your corrections

to the other person's dictation won't improve recognition either.

Correcting with the document author's user files

You should use this correction technique if you do not need to correct by

voice and it is important to maximize the author's recognition accuracy.

This technique works if all work is done on a single computer. Consult your

Dragon NaturallySpeaking reseller about ways to dictate on one computer and correct

on another.

If you correct dictation using the author’s user files, you must not correct

by voice, or you may reduce that person’s recognition accuracy. You can,

however, improve the author’s recognition accuracy if you make

corrections by using the keyboard and mouse with the Quick Correct list

or Correction dialog box. See the following procedure for details.

To correct using someone else's user files:

Make sure you are not wearing the microphone headset, or that the

microphone is not turned on or plugged in. This will ensure that you

don't accidentally reduce the accuracy of someone else's user files by

using your voice.

Make sure the DragonPad Extras toolbar is displayed so you can see the

playback command buttons.

Open the user files of the person whose text you will correct.
