Hyphenating words
Dragon automatically hyphenates words based on standard usage, but you
can also insert hyphens manually.
To hyphenate words
Say "Hyphenate That" to hyphenate the last phrase you said. You can also
select specific words and say "Hyphenate That."
Spaces between words are replaced with hyphens. Any tabs or line breaks are
also replaced.
Note
You can hyphenate words as you dictate by saying "hyphen" between words.
For more information, see Dictating hyphenated and compound words in the
Dragon Help.
Joining words
Dragon automatically joins words based on standard usage, but you can also
join words manually.
To join words
Say "Compound That" to join the last words you said. Or, select specific
words and say "Compound That."
Spaces between words are removed. Any tabs or line breaks are also
removed. The word is added to your Vocabulary.
Note
You can join words as you dictate by saying "no space." When you use this
technique, the new word is not added to your Vocabulary, but you can add it as
a new compound word if necessary. For more information, click Adding words
and phrases to your Vocabulary.
