[. . . ] If a word does not appear in the list, we recommend you use this technique to correct the word. Say "Return to text" to return control to the dictation window. If this works, you can continue proofreading. 68 ViaVoice for Windows Pro USB Edition 3. If re-dictating the word or phrase did not work, say "Scratch that" to get the original text back. Then, click the word-display field in the Correction window, and type the word or phrase you actually said. If the word is the first word of a sentence, you do not have to capitalize it--ViaVoice does that for you automatically. ViaVoice inserts the correction into your dictated text and returns focus to the dictation window. In some cases, you might want to correct two or more words that occur together so that they are added to the vocabulary as a single phrase. If the correct word is a proper name (like a family name or geographical place name), type the word with the appropriate capitalization. If the word you type has a pronunciation that ViaVoice cannot determine from its spelling, the Record Word window will appear. At that window you may have to provide a sounds-like spelling to help ViaVoice understand the word. For example, if your dictation contains the word UU-Ranch, which you pronounced as 'double-U ranch' but which ViaVoice did not understand, you will have to provide 'double-U-ranch' as the sounds-like spelling. Correcting words by typing For the quickest correction results when correcting SpeakPad documents, use the following combination of spoken commands, typing and mouse clicks. Correct each misrecognized word by clicking on it in the document and typing the correct word or spelling. To correct a phrase or a group of words, select them with the mouse pointer until the entire phrase is highlighted. If you wish to see a list of alternate words, highlight an incorrect word or phrase and say "Correct this" to show the Correction window. If ViaVoice continually misrecognizes your commands, you should select the option to require an Attention word--to be used before all voice commands--from the Dictation tab in ViaVoice Options. v If the correct word is in the list of alternate words, say "Pick <n>" (where <n> is the correct number), or click on the text in the list to insert it in your document. This corrects the selected words, and you can continue proofreading. Chapter 6. Correcting your dictation 69 v If the correct words are not in the list of alternate words, try dictating the word or phrase again. v If dictating the word does not work, say "Scratch that" to get the original text back. Click in the word-display field in the Correction window and type the correct spelling. You do not need to capitalize the word if it is the first word of a sentence--ViaVoice will format it automatically when the word is inserted into your document. v Say "Go to Top" to move to the beginning of your document or "Go to Bottom" to move to the end of your document. For proper names or other words that are not in the vocabulary, you will have to type or spell out the words using the Correction window. If the Record Word window appears, use it to train ViaVoice to recognize the word in the future. Delayed correction You can correct misrecognized words at another time or delegate someone else to correct your dictated text.
