CHAPTER 4 Correcting and Editing 5 To replace the period or full stop with an exclamation mark, say "exclamation mark." TIP It is often easier for Dragon NaturallySpeaking® to find the matching text if you select a short phrase rather than individual words. If you select some words that are already correct, just say them again along with the ones you want to change. Selecting the same text again If the words you're trying to select appear more than once on the screen and Dragon NaturallySpeaking® selects the wrong ones, just say "Select Again." The program then looks for another instance of the same word or words. You can also say "Select Again" if Dragon NaturallySpeaking® selects a word that sounds like the word you want, but is not the correct one (for example, "two" instead of "too"). Unselecting words To undo the selection, say "Unselect That." You can also "unselect" words by moving your insertion point (by mouse or voice) to another part of your document. For example, say "Go to End of Line" or click somewhere else in your document. Selecting a longer phrase You can select a longer phrase by saying "Select [text] Through [text]" (US/ Canada) or "Select [text] To [text]" (Other Dialects). For [text], substitute the actual word or words at the beginning and the end of the range of wrong words. For example, you could correct the underlined words in the following sentence: With a little practice, who will develop a habit of dictating an unclear, steady voice, and the computer will understand you better. by saying: (US/Canada) "Select who Through unclear" or "Select who will Through an unclear" (Other Dialects) "Select who To unclear" or "Select who will To an unclear" Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide 41
