If the program continues to type a name incorrectly after you’ve corrected it several
times, train the word individually using the Train Word dialog box. See “Training a
word or command” on page 130.
Dictating abbreviations and acronyms
Dragon NaturallySpeaking knows many common abbreviations (such as NYC and
BBC) and acronyms (such as NATO). To dictate an abbreviation or acronym, just
say it as you normally would.
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking types the full word instead of the abbreviation or
acronym, enters the wrong word, or includes incorrect punctuation, just correct it in
your document by voice or by keyboard.
Dictating e-mail and Web addresses
Dictate e-mail and Web addresses as you would normally say them. Dragon
NaturallySpeaking automatically formats them for you.
Here are some guidelines for dictating e-mail and Web addresses:
