Dictating punctuation
As you dictate, remember to say punctuation marks. For example, to dictate "The deadline
for the report is next week, no later than Thursday." say "The deadline for the report is next
week comma no later than Thursday period."
Make sure you pause slightly before and after you dictate punctuation. This way, if you
want to insert a comma and not the word "comma," Dragon Anywhere can more easily
determine your intent.
Below is a list of common punctuation symbols and their names.
