Managing Smart Format Rules
DragonNaturallySpeakingcanlearnfromthecorrectionsanend-usermakes.Ifthe
correctionsareformatrelatedorrelatedtoalternatewrittenforms,SmartFormatRulesmay
displayaprompttoallowanend-usertosetupcorrespondingformatrulesforfuturedictation.
Whentheend-usereditsdictatedtextthatcorrespondstoanAuto-Formattingoptionor
AlternateWrittenFormFormatting,Dragondisplaysa"hint,"askingiftheend-userwantsto
enableordisablethesetting.Theend-usercanalsoignorethehintbycontinuingdictation,
makingkeyboardedits,orsaying"Cancel"toclosethehint.
Ifanend-userselectsasmartformatrule,therewriterulewillapplyfortheirfuturedictation.
Toreverttherule,theend-usercanmakecorrectionsinadifferentway.Forexample,ifyou
haveappliedaruletoalwaysrewritekilogramtokg.Makingacorrectionfrom“kg”to
“kilogram”willtriggeraSmartformatrulepromptandyoucanapplytheruleto“always
rewritekgtokilogram”
