8 Dictating Names, Numbers, Punctuation & Special Characters Words that end with 's To dictate a word ending with (apostrophe) 's, just say it as you normally would. Dragon NaturallySpeaking will often add it. If Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesn't include the 's, you can add it later. TO ENTE R We took Mary's car that's enough it's time to go SAY We took Mary's car that's enough it's time to go Including 's as you dictate When you want to make sure that Dragon NaturallySpeaking types a word with 's, say "apostrophe ess" after saying the word. For words that already end in "s," say "apostrophe" after the word, as in the second example shown here. TO ENTE R We took my brother's car I met my friends' children SAY We took my brother [apostrophe ess] car I met my friends [apostrophe] children TIP You can add 's to a word by selecting it and then saying it again with "apostrophe ess."
