If you need to dictate the word “cap” in a sentence (as in, “Don’t forget
your baseball cap and glove”), just pause after saying “cap.”
In certain programs, Dragon NaturallySpeaking may not always capitalize
the first word you say; however, it should capitalize correctly whenever you’re dictating
in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking window or any of the programs listed on page 137 of
Appendix B.
Capitalizing consecutive words
When you want to capitalize consecutive words (for example, if you’re
dictating a book title), you can turn capitals on and then turn them off
when you’re finished. This is usually easier than saying “Cap” before
each word.
To capitalize consecutive words:
1
Say “Caps On” to turn capitals on.
When “Caps On” is active, Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses title capitalization.
This means it capitalizes all words except for articles and prepositions (such as “to” and
“the”).
2
Dictate the words you want capitalized. For example, say “success is a
journey [colon] seven steps to achieving success in the business of life” (a book
title).
Dragon NaturallySpeaking types: “Success Is a Journey: Seven Steps to
Achieving Success in the Business of Life.”
3
Say “Caps Off” to turn capitals off.
Dictating the next word in all capital letters
When you’re dictating, you can enter a word in all capital letters by
saying “All Caps” and then the word.
For example, say “All Caps please” to get “PLEASE.”
