If you say “Spell” by itself, without any letters after it, the Spell dialog
box opens.
You can then speak the letters and Dragon NaturallySpeaking will
type them or you can correct any errors in the word you spelled.
When spelling, you can say numbers and special characters as well as
letters. For example, to dictate an automobile license plate number,
you could say “Spell y-h-m-6-0-9.” Dragon NaturallySpeaking would
type “yhm609.” Say “Spell Cap-m-a-c-m-i-l-l-a-n-trademark” to get
“MacMillan™” in your document.
Spelling a word adds that word to the active vocabulary. Words that
contain numbers are not added to the vocabulary.
To dictate unusual text such as automobile license plate numbers or
product codes, you can also switch to Spell mode by saying “Switch To Spell
Mode,” and then dictate letters.
You can make the Spell dialog box appear whenever you use the Spell
command by setting the “Spell” commands bring up the Spell dialog box
option on the Correction tab in the Options dialog box. See the online
help for more information.
You can also access the Spell dialog box when using the "Select" or
“Correct” commands.
For a list of how to spell special characters, see the Spelling topic in
the online Help.
