When saying a standard English letter name, you can precede the name of the letter by "Letter," e.g.
"Letter A," "Letter B." This can help clarify what you are trying to say if you are in Dictation mode. For
example, "B" and "bee" sound the same, so "Letter B" helps Dragon interpret your speech correctly.
To repeat a letter (that is, to say a letter that appears twice in succession):
l Say the letter name twice, e.g. "A A" or "T T."
l Say the letter name preceded by "Double," e.g. "Double A" or, in Spelling mode only, "Double Alpha."
Since "Double U" sounds the same as "W," say "U U" or, in Spelling mode, "Double Uniform."
Spelling mode is designed for spelling out unusual words, so letters are lowercase by default. To capitalize a letter:
l Say "Cap" followed by the name of the letter.
l Say "Caps on" mode to capitalize multiple letters in a row.
Because Dictation mode is not optimal for spelling out words, it assumes dictated letters are initials or acronyms
(see examples below). Letters are uppercase by default, unless Dragon interprets the letter as a word (such as "a"). To
lowercase a letter:
l Say "Lowercase" followed by the name of a letter.
l Say "No Caps on" to lowercase multiple letters in a row.
See Capitalization for more on using upper and lower case in Dictation mode.
Dictating Acronyms
Dragon recognizes many acronyms and will automatically format them correctly. In Dictation mode, you can
pronounce acronyms the way you would normally, whether they are pronounced as words (e.g. NATO, AIDS) or
letters (e.g. HTML, BBC).
You can also use Spelling mode to dictate acronyms, but what you say will be slightly different:
Dictation mode Spelling mode Result
l "UNICEF"
l "Caps on U N I C E F" UNICEF
