Dictating Names, Numbers, Punctuation & Special Characters
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 95
Compounding words as you dictate
To compound words that Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesn’t join automatically, just
say “No Space” between the words.
You can also dictate consecutive words without spaces by turning “no spaces” on
and then turning them off when you’ve finished.
To dictate consecutive words without spaces:
1 Say “No Space On” to turn spaces off.
2 Dictate the words you want to appear without spaces.
3 Say “No Space Off” to turn spacing back on.
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
NaturallySpeaking vocabulary. For example, you can dictate “Martin Luther King,”
“New York Times,” and “Boston.”
To dictate a name, first try dictating the name. Dragon NaturallySpeaking
automatically capitalizes the names it knows. If Dragon NaturallySpeaking
incorrectly types the name, correct it by keyboard or by voice (see “Correcting and
Editing” on page 41).
