■ If Natural Punctuation is turned on, when you select a phrase that has
punctuation added by NaturallySpeaking, the choices will include punctuation
changes. For example:
When you select a word that has adjacent punctuation added by the Natural Punctuation
feature, the selection will extend to include that punctuation.
Selecting text by voice
Using Select-and-Say
®
You can revise your dictation without correcting it by selecting the text using the
“Select” command and then saying new words to replace the selected text.
To use Select-and-Say
®
:
1 Dictate the sentence below:
US/Canada: Let’s meet for lunch on Tuesday [period]
Other Dialects: Let’s meet for lunch on Tuesday [full stop]
2 Say “Select lunch on Tuesday.” The words “lunch on Tuesday” should be
highlighted on the screen.
3 Say “dinner on Wednesday.” These words should replace “lunch on Tuesday.”
Since “Tuesday” and “Wednesday” sound completely different, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
will know you are not correcting a recognition mistake but rather
revising your dictated text.
You can also select punctuation marks.
4 Say: “Select period” (US/Canada) or “Select full stop” (Other Dialects). If there’s
more than one period or full stop, you can say “Select Again” to select a different
one.
