Dictating Names, Numbers, Punctuation & Special Characters
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 129.
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.
