In a speech recognition system, a method for using multiple cursors for dictation
and correction of text can include a series of steps. The steps can include detecting
whether a correction marker has been included within a body of text and searching
for a user specified portion of text to be corrected within the body of text. The
method further can include selecting the user specified portion of text and substituting
an alternate user specified portion of text for the user specified portion of text
within the body of text. The step of locating the correction marker within the
body of text at a location defined by the alternate user specified portion of text
further can be included. Additionally, the method can include the step of relocating
an insertion cursor to the end of the body of text.
