Dictating Names,
Numbers & Punctuation
our Quick Start guide explains the basics of dictating.
This chapter describes how to dictate:
■ Names of people, places, and events
■ Abbreviations and acronyms
■ Hyphenated and compound words
■ Words that end with ’s
■ E-mail and Web addresses
■ Special characters (such as é and ¥)
■ Foreign words
■ Numbers (including telephone numbers and dates)
Dictating names of people,
places, and events
Many names of people, places, and events are already in the Dragon
NaturallySpeaking vocabulary. For example, you can dictate “Martin
Luther King,” “Papua New Guinea,” and “Boston, Massachusetts.” Your first
step should always be to try dictating the name.
To dictate names:
US/Canada: Dictate your name and your town. For example, say “My
name is Carol Macintosh [period] I live in Chicago [comma] Illinois [period]”
