I've heard you (MacSpeech) want to do correction right in MacSpeech
Dictate. Well, that's all fine and good but there are number of things
that MacSpeech Dictate correction must have to be considered "done
right".
* ability to correct dictation wherever you have
dictated it.
* ability to select what you want to correct by voice.
* after you have selected what you want to correct you
should be able to bring up a correction dialog using
a keyboard shortcut or a spoken command.
* correction dialog should have 1-N guesses of what it
thought you said, where N is a preference setting,
and should be able to choose a guess by keyboard or
voice.
* if none of the guesses in the correction dialog are
exactly what you said, you should be able edit the
closest match by voice or keyboard. If by voice you
should be able to move to beginning or end of phrase
by speaking a command. If you need to edit a word
in the phrase you should be able to move the cursor
left-or-right 1-N characters or words. If you need
to add a word or correct one in the dialog, you
should be able to backspace or delete 1-N characters,
and add characters by spelling them using either
the international communication alphabet or the
letter names.
* once the phrase is corrected you should be able to
exit the dialog by voice, and be returned to the
point where you were dictating prior to doing the
correction.
That seems like a reasonable starting point. If anyone can think of
anything else, please mention it.
Thanks...
Todd
