Dictating special characters
Dictating common special characters
The following special characters are in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking
vocabulary. To dictate these characters, just say their names.
For a more complete list of special characters, see “Entering punctuation
and special characters” on page 151 of Appendix B or your Quick Reference
card.
Dictating uncommon special characters
If you use uncommon special characters in your writing (for example, ©,
é, or ¥), you can also enter them by voice; you must, however, use the
Correction dialog box the first time you dictate them.
After you enter an uncommon special character by using the Correction
dialog box, Dragon NaturallySpeaking adds it to the vocabulary. For
example, if you want to enter a copyright sign (©) into your document,
