If you are trying to dictate a very unusual word, you may find you need to spell it out. If you use the word frequently,
you can add it to Dragon's vocabulary. See Adding a User vocabulary item for more information.
Recognition modes and spelling
You can say the names of letters in Dictation mode.
Spelling mode, however, will generally produce better results because:
l It only understands letters and numbers, so it is less likely to misinterpret your speech.
l It will not attempt to insert spaces if you pause between letters.
To switch to spelling mode, just say "Switch to Spelling mode." Remember to say "Switch to Dictation mode" to return
to Dictation mode when you are done spelling.
Letters
To type a letter:
l Say the name of the letter, e.g. "A," "B," etc.
l If you are in Spelling mode, you can use the International Radio Alphabet name of the letter.
