Undoing Dictation
As you dictate text and make changes to existing text in a document, you may change your mind or want to immediately remove an error before continuing. There are a number of commands you can use to do this (Table 4.1).
Table 4.1. Dictation Reversal Commands
To do this: |
Say this: |
Delete the last word you dictated |
|
Delete the last phrase you dictated |
|
Undo your last dictation or edit |
|
Undo the undo command |
|
To delete the last word you dictated:
Say Scratch Word
or Delete Word
.
The last word you dictated is removed.
To delete the last phrase you dictated:
Say Scratch That
or Delete That
.
The last phrase you dictated is removed.
To undo your last dictated action:
Say Undo Dictation

What happens depends on what you last dictated:
- If the last thing you did was dictate text, the last phrase dictated is deleted.
- If the last thing you did was issue a text editing command, that command is reversed.
