6 Formatting When you're dictating, you can capitalize words that aren't automatically capitalized by saying "Cap" and then the word. For example, say "Cap zelda" to get "Zelda." TIP If saying "Cap " doesn't work, try say "Cap Next ." TIP To dictate the word "cap," for example, in this sentence: "The company is putting a cap on salary increases," you must say "the company is putting a" then say "Spell c-a-p," and then say "on salary increases." In this way, Dragon NaturallySpeaking knows that you do not want to capitalize any of the words within the sentence. Capitalizing consecutive words When you want to capitalize consecutive words (for example, if you're dictating a book title), you can turn capitals on and then turn them off when you're finished. This is usually easier than saying "Cap" before each word. Another way to do consecutive capitalization is to dictate the words, pause, and then say "Capitalize That" or "Cap That." To capitalize consecutive words: 1 Say "Caps On" to turn capitals on. NOTE When "Caps On" is active, Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses title case. This means it capitalizes all words except for articles and prepositions (such as "the" and "to"). 2 Dictate the words you want capitalized. For example, say: "success is a journey [colon] seven steps to achieving success in the business of life" Dragon NaturallySpeaking types: "Success Is a Journey: Seven Steps to Achieving Success in the Business of Life" 3 Say "Caps Off" to turn capitals off. Dictating the next word in all capital letters When you're dictating, you can enter a word in all capital letters by saying "All Caps" and then the word. For example, say "All Caps please" to get "PLEASE." 62 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
