Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
1. Select Tools menu > Options from the DragonBar. For example, say "Switch
to DragonBar," then "Click Tools," then "Options."
2. On the Options dialog box, Correction tab, say "click Show Smart Format
Rules" to clear the checkmark beside the option.
3. Say "Click OK" to close the dialog box and apply your changes.
Restoring a Smart Format Rule
You can restore a default in the Auto-formatting dialog box or WordProperties
dialog box.
Another way to restore a setting: correct the text to the format you want and
pick the corresponding rule from the Smart Format Rules box that your
correction triggered.
Options controlled by Smart Format Rules
Auto-formatting Web and e-mail addresses
Turns on automatic e-mail and Web address formatting, so that you can
dictate them as you would normally say them out loud. For example, if you
say "jane dot smith at my adventure travel dot com" Dragon enters
"Jane.Smith@myadventuretravel.com." Dragon substitutes the @ sign for
the spoken "at," uses a period for "dot," and omits spaces. Or if you say
"www dot nuance dot com," Dragon enters www.nuance.com.
Auto-formatting street addresses
Turns on automatic formatting of postal addresses. For example, if you say
"49 orchard lane boston massachusetts oh two four four six," Dragon enters
"49 Orchard Lane, Boston, MA 02446."
Certain addresses can be hard for Dragon to interpret. For example, "Two
Hundred Forty Fifth Street" could be interpreted as 245th Street, 200 45th
Street, or 240 5th Street. In a situation like this, Dragon uses context to try
to determine what you meant. In some cases, using the word "And" can help
to narrow down the choices. In the example above, saying "Two Hundred
And Forty Fifth Street" would eliminate 200 45th Street as a possibility.
For user profiles whose region setting is UKor Canada: This option
also enables the proper formatting of UK postcodes and Canadian postal
codes. For example, you could format a postcode for London by saying "W
Two Four R J" to enter W2 4RJ, and format a postal code for Toronto by
saying "M Five H Two L Two" to enter M5H 2L2."
See Choose your region and vocabulary in the Dragon Help.
For user profiles whose region setting is United States: If you are
using a U.S. English user profile, you can enable UK postcodes and Canadian
postal codes from the UK and Canadian postcodes option in this dialog box.
