Spacing
In general, Dragon will automatically insert or suppress spacing where appropriate. For example, spaces are inserted
between words and after punctuation such as periods and commas, but suppressed around hyphens. If you need to
make special adjustments, use these commands.
To insert a space
l Say "Space bar."
To adjust spacing as you dictate
l Say "No space <word>" to prevent automatic insertion of a space before the next word.
l Say "No space on" to prevent automatic insertion of a space between a string of words (such as a Web
address).
l Say "No space off" to go back to normal spacing.
To delete a space before a word you already dictated
1. Say "Insert before <word>" to place the cursor before the word.
2. Say "No leading space" or "Press the key Delete."
Remember, in some applications, it's better not to use your mouse and keyboard while dictating text. See
Mixing dictation with typing for more information, including a list of currently supported applications.
