Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 96
If you need to dictate the word “cap” in a sentence (as in, “The
company is putting a cap on salary increases”), just pause after saying
“cap.”
Dragon NaturallySpeaking should capitalize correctly whenever you’re
dictating in the DragonPad or any of the programs listed on page 171. In other
programs, it may not always capitalize the first word you say automatically; you may
need to capitalize as you dictate.
Capitalizing consecutive words
When you want to capitalize consecutive words (for example, if you’re
dictating a book title), you can turn capitals on and then turn them off
when you’re finished. This is usually easier than saying “Cap” before
each word.
To capitalize consecutive words:
1 Say “Caps On” to turn capitals on.
When “Caps On” is active, Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses title case. This
means it capitalizes all words except for articles and prepositions (such as “the” and
“to”).
2 Dictate the words you want capitalized. For example, say “success is a
journey [colon] seven steps to achieving success in the business of life.”
Dragon NaturallySpeaking types: “Success Is a Journey: Seven Steps to
Achieving Success in the Business of Life.”
3 Say “Caps Off” to turn capitals off.
Dictating the next word in all capital letters
When you’re dictating, you can enter a word in all capital letters by
saying “All Caps” and then the word.
For example, say “All Caps please” to get “PLEASE.”
Dictating consecutive words in all capital letters
When you want to dictate consecutive words in all capitals, you can turn
all capitals on and then turn them off when you’ve finished.
