Compounding words later
You can compound the last words you said or compound
selected words by saying “Compound That.” This command
removes all spaces between selected words. Or, if no words are
selected, it removes all spaces in the last utterance. Any tabs or
line breaks are also removed.
To compound words:
1 Select the text you want to join. For example, if you want to
join the words “Web TV,” say “Select Web TV.”
2 Say “Compound That.”
Dictating names
Many names of people, places, and events are already in the
Dragon vocabulary. For example, you can dictate “Martin
Luther King,” “New York Times,” and “Boston.”
To dictate a name, first try dictating the name. Dragon
automatically capitalizes the names it knows. If Dragon
incorrectly types the name, correct it by keyboard or by voice
(see Correcting and Editing on page 67).
If the program continues to type a name incorrectly after you’ve
corrected it several times, train the word individually using the
Train Word dialog box. See the online help for more information.
Dictating abbreviations and acronyms
Dragon knows many common abbreviations (such as NYC and
BBC) and acronyms (such as NATO). To dictate an
abbreviation or acronym, just say it as you normally would.
