5 Correcting and Editing
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 53
If you say “Spell” by itself, without any letters after it, the Spell dialog box opens.
You can then speak the letters and Dragon NaturallySpeaking will type them or you
can correct any errors in the word you spelled.
When spelling, you can say numbers and special characters as well as letters. For
example, to dictate an automobile license plate number, you could say “Spell y-h-m-
6-0-9.” Dragon NaturallySpeaking would type “yhm609.” Say “Spell Cap-m-a-c-m-i-
l-l-a-n-trademark” to get “MacMillan™” in your document.
Spelling a word adds that word to the active vocabulary. Words that contain
numbers are not added to the vocabulary.
To dictate unusual text such as automobile license plate numbers or product codes, you can also
switch to Spell mode by saying “Switch To Spell Mode,” and then dictate letters.
You can make the Spell dialog box appear whenever you use the Spell command by
setting the “Spell” commands bring up the Spell dialog box option on the Correction tab
in the Options dialog box. See page 161 for more information.
You can also access the Spell dialog box when using the "Select" or “Correct”
commands.
For a list of how to spell special characters, see the Spelling topic in the online Help
or the “Commands List” on page 173.
