Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 71
Including hyphens as you dictate
To hyphenate words that Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® doesn’t hyphenate
automatically, just say “hyphen” wherever you want a hyphen.
You can hyphenate words you just dictated with the command
“Hyphenate That.” Select the words you want to hyphenate and say
“Hyphenate That.” If you say this command when no words are selected,
Dragon NaturallySpeaking
® will usually hyphenate the last few words
that you said.
Removing hyphens
You can remove a hyphen by selecting it and replacing it with a space.
To remove a hyphen:
1 Say “Select hyphen.”
2 Say “Space Bar.”
Preventing hyphens
You can prevent Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® from entering a hyphen by
pausing where the hyphen would normally be.
For example, to type “long lasting” (normally hyphenated) say “long,”
then pause for a moment, and then say “lasting.” Or you can say “long
space bar lasting” without pausing, to insert a space in place of the
hyphen.
Dictating compound words
Dragon NaturallySpeaking ® joins compound words (such as “notebook”)
automatically, based on standard usage. To dictate a compound word,
just say it as you normally would.
