More About Dictating
When you dictate a word that should end with 's, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking adds it if it can hear the "ess" sound and the ending
makes sense in the context.
To dictate a word ending with 's, just say it as you normally would. (For
some words, you may need to emphasize the "ess" sound.)
TO E N TE R
We took Mary's car
that's enough
it's time to go
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking doesn't include the 's, you can add it.
When you want to make sure that Dragon NaturallySpeaking types a
word with 's, just say "apostrophe ess" (or "apostrophe" for words that
already end in s) after saying the word.
TO E N TE R
We took my brother's car
I met my friends' children
Lois's car
You can add 's to a word by selecting it and then saying it again with
"apostrophe ess."
To add 's later:
Select the text to which you want to add 's. For example, say "Select
brothers."
Say the word followed by "apostrophe ess" (for example, say "brother
apostrophe ess").
This changes "brothers" to "brother's."
