If Natural Punctuation is turned on, when you select a phrase that has
punctuation added by NaturallySpeaking, the choices will include punctuation
changes. For example:

When you select a word that has adjacent punctuation added by the Natural Punctuation

feature, the selection will extend to include that punctuation.

Selecting text by voice

Using Select-and-Say

®

You can revise your dictation without correcting it by selecting the text using the
“Select” command and then saying new words to replace the selected text.

To use Select-and-Say

®

:

1

Dictate the sentence below:

US/Canada: Let’s meet for lunch on Tuesday [period]

Other Dialects: Let’s meet for lunch on Tuesday [full stop]

2

Say “Select lunch on Tuesday.” The words “lunch on Tuesday” should be
highlighted on the screen.

3

Say “dinner on Wednesday.” These words should replace “lunch on Tuesday.”

Since “Tuesday” and “Wednesday” sound completely different, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking

will know you are not correcting a recognition mistake but rather

revising your dictated text.

You can also select punctuation marks.

4

Say: “Select period”

(US/Canada

) or “Select full stop” (

Other Dialects

). If there’s

more than one period or full stop, you can say “Select Again” to select a different
one.
