Dictated input in OSX is underlined with Blue dots Dictation provides a great way of entering text. However, the documentation I found so far is scarce, and for instance I do not know what the blue dots underlying some parts of the text:



For instance, is it possible to chose an alternate text (solution)?

Note: I tried any possibility as right clicking, but no luck there...
Often, dictation hears wrong, but then looks at the context of the sentence and “changes its mind” by changing certain words. Those words get underlined in blue. So basically, words underlined in blue are the words that dictation decided to change based on the context of the sentence. Usually, they’re good changes. Hope that answers your question.
