Words that end with ’s
To dictate a word ending with (apostrophe) ’s, just say it as you normally would.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking will often add it. If Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesn’t
include the ’s, you can add it later.
Including ’s as you dictate
When you want to make sure that Dragon NaturallySpeaking types a word with ’s,
say “apostrophe ess” after saying the word. For words that already end in “s,” say
“apostrophe” after the word, as in the second example shown here.
You can add
’s to a word by selecting it and then saying it again with “apostrophe
ess.“
Dictating hyphenated words
Many hyphenated words and phrases are already in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking
vocabulary. To dictate a word or phrase that is usually hyphenated, just say it as you
normally would.
