5 C H A P T E R Correcting and Editing When Dragon NaturallySpeaking types the wrong words, you should correct these mistakes. By giving the program the right word, you actually teach the program not to make the same mistakes again. Correcting mistakes requires some extra effort, but it saves you time in the long run by making Dragon NaturallySpeaking more accurate. You'll probably need to correct mistakes often when you first start dictating, and then less frequently as the program learns from your corrections. Make it a habit to correct mistakes to continue to improve the accuracy of the program. Make sure you save your speech files when prompted, to preserve the adjustments the program makes. TIP You must select a word before typing over it. Using the backspace key and retyping (or saying "Scratch That") will not enable the software to learn from corrections and improve recognition accuracy. For accuracy to improve, you must first select text and then correct it or overwrite it with the words you said.Mrs. Correcting mistakes There are a number of ways you can correct the misrecognitions in a document. The following techniques describe the most basic methods, but you can combine these techniques in any manner that suits your working style.
