For the complete list of special characters, see page 194 in Appendix B, or the online Help. 4 Click or say "OK." Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters the special character (for example, ¥) and also adds it to the vocabulary. Now when you dictate the phrase (in this example, "yen sign"), Dragon NaturallySpeaking should enter the special character, not the words. If the program enters words instead, just correct the mistake (as described in "Correcting recognition mistakes" on page 15). The Correction dialog box should display the special character in the list of alternatives. Dictating foreign words Some foreign words that are regularly used in English (such as "laissez-faire") are in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking vocabulary. If you dictate a foreign word, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesn't recognize it, try correcting it. The Correction dialog box may display the word you want on the list of alternatives. If the foreign word contains an accented character, add it to the vocabulary with the accented character in the written form. See "Adding an individual word" on page 35.

CHAPTER 4
Dictating Names, Numbers & Punctuation
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
75
3
Say the name of the special character (for example, say
“yen sign”
to enter
¥).
For the complete list of special characters, see page 194 in Appendix B,
or the online Help.
4
Click or say “
OK
.”
Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters the special character (for example, ¥)
and also adds it to the vocabulary. Now when you dictate the phrase (in
this example,
“yen sign”
), Dragon NaturallySpeaking should enter the
special character, not the words. If the program enters words instead, just
correct the mistake (as described in “Correcting recognition mistakes”
on page 15). The Correction dialog box should display the special
character in the list of alternatives.
Dictating foreign words
Some foreign words that are regularly used in English (such as
“laissez-faire”)
are in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking vocabulary.
If you dictate a foreign word, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesn’t
recognize it, try correcting it. The Correction dialog box may display the
word you want on the list of alternatives.
If the foreign word contains an accented character, add it to the
vocabulary with the accented character in the written form. See “Adding
an individual word” on page 35.
