Abstract
An action position is manipulated in computer-implemented speech recognition by receiving data representing a spoken command. The command includes a command identifier (e.g., insert before, insert after, resume with) and a designation of at least one previously-spoken word. Speech recognition is performed on the data to identify the command identifier and the designation. Finally, an action position is established relative to the previously-spoken word based on the command identifier. Text may be selected using a spoken selection command that includes a command identifier and a text block identifier identifying a block of previously-recognized text. At least one word included in the block of text is not included in the text block identifier.
