3 Starting to Dictate Dictating punctuation You can dictate punctuation at any time while you are using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, even when Natural Punctuation is enabled. Use the following list as a guide to dictating the most common punctuation marks. (For a complete list of punctuation, see page 194.) TO E N T E R , SAY (US/Canada) comma S AY (Other Dialects) comma . period full stop ! exclamation point or exclamation mark exclamation mark ? question mark question mark - hyphen hyphen : colon colon Starting new lines and paragraph While you are dictating, you can use the following commands to duplicate the action of pressing the Enter key once (to add a new line) or twice (to add a new paragraph). TO Add a new line Add a new paragraph SAY "New Line" "New Paragraph" Saying "New Paragraph" presses the Enter key twice and capitalizes the next word you dictate. Tips for dictating text ■ To erase the last thing you said, say "Scratch That." ■ You can repeat "Scratch That" to undo a sequence of phrases. ■ To undo the effects of a command, say "Undo That." If "Undo That" fails to undo an action, try repeating the command until you completely undo the operation. ■ To stop a recognition in progress (and turn the microphone off), click the small red button inside the Results box. ■ You can change the very last phrase you spoke by saying "Bold That," "Cap That," "Correct That," and so on; you do not have to select the text first. ■ To remove a trailing space after a word, you can say "Delete Previous Character." ■ You can create a spoken form for words you prefer not to say aloud. For example, you can create a command that types "Snookums" whenever you say "Mary's nickname." 20 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
