Words that end with ’s
To dictate a word ending with (apostrophe) ’s, just say it as you normally
would. Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
will often add it. If Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
doesn’t include the ’s, you can add it later.
Including ’s as you dictate
When you want to make sure that Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
types a
word with ’s, say “apostrophe ess” after saying the word. For words that
already end in “s,” say “apostrophe” after the word, as in the second
example shown here.
Dictating hyphenated words
Many hyphenated words and phrases are already in the Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
vocabulary. To dictate a word or phrase that is
usually hyphenated, just say it as you normally would.
