Dictating uncommon special characters
If you use uncommon special characters in your writing (for example, a double-
dagger sign ‡), you can enter them by voice using the Spell command. If you use a
special character frequently, you can also add it as a new word using the Vocabulary
Editor.
For the complete list of special characters and their names, see the Special
Characters topic in the online Help.
To dictate a special character:
1
Just say "Spell"plus the name of the character. For example, if you want to enter
a double-dagger sign (‡) into your document, say "Spell double dagger."
To add a special character to the vocabulary:
If you frequently want to dictate an unrecognized special character (for example,
double-dagger sign - ‡) into your document, you could add "double dagger" as a new
word in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking vocabulary. Follow these steps:
1
In your document, dictate the phrase you want to use to enter the special
character (for example, say "double dagger"). Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters
the words into your document.
2
Say "Spell That" to open the Spell dialog box.
