Say “Select hyphen.”
2
Say “Space Bar.”
Preventing hyphens
You can prevent Dragon NaturallySpeaking from entering a hyphen by
pausing where the hyphen would normally be.
For example, to type “long lasting” (normally hyphenated) say “long,”
then pause for a moment, and then say “lasting.”
Dictating compound words
Dragon NaturallySpeaking joins compound words (such as “notebook”)
automatically based on standard usage. To dictate a compound word, just
say it as you normally would.
