3 Starting to Dictate
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 20
Dictating punctuation
You can dictate punctuation at any time while you are using Dragon
NaturallySpeaking, even when Natural Punctuation is enabled.
Use the following list as a guide to dictating the most common punctuation marks.
(For a complete list of punctuation, see page 194.)
Starting new lines and paragraph
While you are dictating, you can use the following commands to duplicate the action
of pressing the Enter key once (to add a new line) or twice (to add a new paragraph).
Saying "New Paragraph" presses the Enter key twice and capitalizes the next word you dictate.
Tips for dictating text
■ To erase the last thing you said, say "Scratch That."
■ You can repeat "Scratch That" to undo a sequence of phrases.
■ To undo the effects of a command, say "Undo That." If “Undo That” fails to
undo an action, try repeating the command until you completely undo the
operation.
■ To stop a recognition in progress (and turn the microphone off), click the small
red button inside the Results box.
■ You can change the very last phrase you spoke by saying "Bold That," "Cap
That," "Correct That," and so on; you do not have to select the text first.
■ To remove a trailing space after a word, you can say "Delete Previous
Character."
■ You can create a spoken form for words you prefer not to say aloud. For
example, you can create a command that types "Snookums" whenever you say
"Mary's nickname."
