CHAPTER 6 Numbers and Punctuation Dictating uncommon special characters If you use uncommon special characters in your writing (for example, a double-dagger sign ‡), you can enter them by voice using the Spell command. If you use a special character frequently, you can also add it as a new word using the Vocabulary Editor™. This section explains how to do this. To dictate a special character: 1 Just say "Spell"plus the name of the character. For example, if you want to enter a double-dagger sign (‡) into your document, say "Spell double dagger." For the complete list of special characters and their names, see the Special Characters topic in the online Help and the following sections in the Appendix: s "Publishing symbols" on page 223 s "Accented and international characters" on page 226 s "Mathematical symbols" on page 226 s "Currency symbols" on page 224 To add a special character to the vocabulary: If you frequently want to dictate a double-dagger sign (‡) into your document, you could add "double dagger" as a new word in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking® vocabulary. Follow these steps: 1 In your document, dictate the phrase you want to use to enter the special character (for example, say "double dagger"). Dragon NaturallySpeaking® enters the words into your document. In this example, it would enter "double dagger." 2 Say "Spell That" to open the Spell dialog box. 76 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
