CHAPTER 4 Dictating Names, Numbers & Punctuation To dictate a word ending with 's, just say it as you normally would. (For some words, you may need to emphasize the "ess" sound.) If Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesn't include the 's, you can add it later. TO EN TE R We took Mary's car that's enough it's time to go SAY We took Mary's car that's enough it's time to go Including 's as you dictate When you want to make sure that Dragon NaturallySpeaking types a word with 's, just say "apostrophe ess" (or "apostrophe" for words that already end in s) after saying the word. TO EN TE R We took my brother's car I met my friends' children Lois's car SAY We took my brother [apostrophe ess] car I met my friends [apostrophe] children Lois [apostrophe ess] car Adding 's later You can add 's to a word by selecting it and then saying it again with "apostrophe ess." To add 's later: 1 Select the text to which you want to add 's. For example, say "Select brothers." 2 Say the word followed by "apostrophe ess" (for example, say "brother apostrophe ess"). This changes "brothers" to "brother's." Or, you can use the "Insert After" command (see page 88). For example, say "Insert after brother," pause, and then say ""apostrophe ess."
