Capitalizing consecutive words
When you want to capitalize consecutive words (for example, if you're dictating a

This is usually easier than saying "Cap" before each word. Another way to do
consecutive capitalization is to dictate the words, pause, and then say "Capitalize

Say "Caps Off" to turn capitals off.
