8 Dictating Names, Numbers, Punctuation & Special Characters currency amount, dictate it the way you normally do. If you want to dictate a dollar currency amount, say, for example, "dollar sign fifty eight" (to enter $58) and so on. NOTE Australian users can say "fifty eight dollars" to dictate $58, since the Australian default currency is $ in Windows Regional Settings. Punctuation Using Natural Punctuation Dragon NaturallySpeaking can automatically add commas and periods at the appropriate places in your dictation without your having to explicitly speak that punctuation. This Natural Punctuation feature can be useful in helping you get used to dictation by focusing on what you are saying rather than how your speech is punctuated. Natural Punctuation only inserts periods and commas. You still have to dictate other punctuation marks. Even with Natural Punctuation turned on, you can still dictate periods and commas. As you become more adept at dictation and want more control over where punctuation appears, you may want to explicitly dictate all your punctuation. For information on correcting punctuation, see Correcting Punctuation on page 44. TIP Periods will only appear at the end of a sentence once you have started the next utterance or said "New Line" or "New Paragraph" Enabling and disabling automatic punctuation Natural Punctuation is turned on by default. There are two ways of turning Natural Punctuation on and off: 1 Select Options from the Tools menu of the DragonBar and click "automatically add commas and periods" on the Formatting tab. For more information on this, see page 170. 2 By saying "autopunctuation on" and "autopunctuation off". Turning Natural Punctuation on and off by voice sets the option on the Formatting tab listed above. If your disable Natural Punctuation by voice, it stays disabled until to enable it again.
