Rather than saying "alpha bravo", try saying "Letter alpha bravo". This should
start NaturallySpeaking realizing that you mean letters rather than words.
Eventually, you will find that it is no longer necessary to say "letter". Don't
ask me why...

When you say "Delete That", are you pausing before and after the command? Or are
you perhaps saying "Delete <pause> That"? Make sure that your previous utterance
is finished before saying Delete That -- wait until it appears in your dictation
window. And when you say Delete That, check to see if it appears alone in your
results box as 2 distinct, capitalized words. I have been dictating this paragraph
without pausing before I say Delete That, and consequently I have been inserting
the two words without any special effort.

Here it seems like you might be saying "Correct <pause> That".
Learning to use NaturallySpeaking takes some time. You have to learn when to
pause, and when to speak continuously. It's a bit of an adjustment, and most
people in this list report that it takes them a few months to become really
comfortable. But stick with it, and you'll find it gets easier. Good luck!
