CHAPTER 4 Dictating Names, Numbers & Punctuation Other Dialects: Dictate your name and your town. For example, say "My name is Harriet Timms [full stop] I live in Marlow [comma] Buckinghamshire [full stop]" NOTE All non-US/Canada dialects (UK, Australian, Indian, and Southeast Asian English) use the same commands for punctuation, selection, number formatting, and so on. Say the words as clearly as possible. (Dragon NaturallySpeaking automatically capitalizes the names it knows, so you don't have to say "Cap.") Did Dragon NaturallySpeaking get your name and town correct? If not, it may mean that your name, town, or both aren't in the vocabulary. Not all proper names are in the vocabulary, but you can easily add them. See "Quick and easy ways to add new words" on page 34. When you dictate a name that can be spelled more than one way (for example, "John" or "Jon"), Dragon NaturallySpeaking types the most common spelling. If this isn't the spelling you want, just correct the word (as described in "Correcting recognition mistakes" on page 15). The Correction dialog box displays any alternative spellings that are already in the vocabulary. If none of the choices are what you want, type or spell the name the way you want it to appear. If the name is a popular one, Dragon NaturallySpeaking may continue to use the more common spelling. If this is a problem, you can create a new spoken form in your vocabulary for entering the spelling you want (see "Editing your vocabulary" on page 41). Or, if you never use a particular spelling, you can delete it from the vocabulary. 66 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
