I use Dragon Naturally Speaking version 8.0. It’s useful when writing long items… a few paragraphs or more. Here is a list of phrases you can tell DNS to do good things:<\/p>\n
select that\/ correct that – correct the last thing you said
\ncorrect [word] through [word] – correct a string of words
\n(hit – on the keypad) – pulls up correction window<\/p>\n
Show-dictation-box – pops up a text window that will paste when it’s closed. Good for Firefox.
\nEdit-selection – You should select something, say \u201cEdit-Selection\u201d and it\u2019ll be pulled into a dictation box.<\/p>\n
Cap \u2026 <\/strong>– next letter is capitalized open-quote <\/strong>– \u201c scratch-that-[X]-times <\/strong>– multiple undo<\/p>\n ————————————————– mouse-grid <\/strong>– brings up the mouse grid. Then\u2026 move-up-[n]-lines<\/strong> insert-before-[word] \/ after<\/strong><\/p>\n select-[words I want]<\/strong> select-[starting word]-through-[ending word]<\/strong> backspace-[n]<\/strong><\/p>\n scratch-that<\/strong> ————————————————– To kill a voice-recognition action that has gone awry, click the little red X inside the Result box. That will also turn off the microphone.<\/p>\n To spell out individual letters or numbers, pause, say \u201cspell-that\u201d. Wait for the spelling menu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I use Dragon Naturally Speaking version 8.0. It’s useful when writing long items… a few paragraphs or more.
