Notes
• If a word has different written and spoken forms, use the written form for the word value. If a word in a list
has different written and spoken forms, use the entire list entry.
• Use a single backslash before dictation commands that do not have a written form. For example, use
HeardWord "\No-Caps". To see the words that need this treatment, open the Vocabulary Editor and scroll to
the top.
• If a dictation vocabulary word (such as "Academy Awards") consists of more than one dictionary word, put
the vocabulary word in a single argument.
