BTW, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong by rereading the manual. I realize now everytime I scratched a word using the command "scratch wordČ I was deleting the word but not the idea that it's getting corrected. So if I spelled the right word, it really learns it. I feel pretty dumb because I really have read the manual, however there really is a lot of information there. It seems I have gotten more out of the last hour than in a whole lot of hours put together. So maybe this should be in someone's helpful hints for using speech recognition, I mean the idea of spelling to correct the errors.
I am really happy because now I can correct my mistakes without using a mouse! :-)

Now Ičll have to remember this for some other time. Very funny! :-) But it just may work. Though I don't need it now.

No, Power Secretary is discrete speech, I doubt someone could do this really really fast. Then again I don't think real fast anyway. :-)
