Capitalization, Spacing, and Numbers
InDictationmode,youcansaycommandsthatapplyspecialrulesforcapitaliza-
tion, spacing and interpretation of numbers.Thisgivesyounercontrol
whenDictationmode’sintelligentautomaticbehaviorneedsassistance.(Fornest
possiblecontrol,though,useSpellingmode.)
tiP.MacSpeechDictatecomeswithalargerepertoryof built-inwordswith
correctcapitalizationandspacing.So,beforeusingthesecommands,trysay-
ingyourword(orlookitupintheVocabularyEditorwindow)toseewhat
MacSpeechDictatedoes.Forexample,MacSpeechDictatehandlescorrectly
suchtermsas“CD-ROM”and“FreeBSD”withoutyourhavingtoworry
aboutspacing,hyphenation,orcapitalization.
Title Case
Tocapitalize (title case) the next word:
• Say Cap .(Totypetheword“cap”youmayneedtoswitchtoSpellingmode
andspellitout!)
IntheStatuswindow,therstindicatorlightwillglowyellowandwillread“Abc”.
Whenyousaythenextword,itwillbetypedcapitalized,andtheindicatorlight
willgooutautomatically.
Tocapitalize (title case) a series of words,youmayprefertoturnontitle
