MacOS – Mac Dictation – How to select backspace

macosvoice-dictation

Using OS X 10.9 and 10.10 dictation, I can find/use the various grammatical commands as shown here. Is there a way to select back, erase, cancel?

When I try these words, they are typed not implemented.

Thanks

Solution 1: You can say "Press backspace key" (at least with 10.10).

Solution 2: You can define the voice command "backspace" that triggers an automator workflow that sends a delete keystroke:

on run {input, parameters}

tell application "System Events"
    keystroke (ASCII character 127)
end tell

return input
 end run

Solution 3: You can use BetterTouchTool (free):
