# alternativeInterpretations

An array of alternative textual interpretations of a dictated phrase.

```
var alternativeInterpretations: [String]? { get }
```

## Discussion

If the system determines only one textual interpretation of a dictated phrase, the value of this property is `nil`. If there’s more than one interpretation, this property contains an array of strings, with the first being most likely interpretation and the last being the least likely.
