Dictation Basics
Dictate to Dragon much as you would dictate to a person transcribing your
dictation. By default you must explicitly say most punctuation and
capitalization other than for proper names or at the beginning of a sentence.
You can have Dragon automatically insert commas and periods in most
situations by selecting the "Automatically add commas and periods" box on the
Auto-formatting dialog box. For more information, see Dictating punctuation
and symbols and Dictation commands.
The following table describes some basic dictation commands.
