Re: How to get Dragon to Insert the Word for a Punctuation Mark?

I tend to use the Command Summary a lot to figure things out that I should know but either don’t know or don’t remember. That Add New Command feature is one I didn’t know, is positively brilliant, and doesn’t seem to appear in the J-Say 22 command summary. I have the command summary chapters copied into an easily searchable text document for quick location. ? ? ? Encouraging and thought-provoking reading https://bahaiteachings.org ?

Subject: Re: [J-Say] How to get Dragon to Insert the Word for a Punctuation Mark?? Whichever way you tackle this using native Dragon techniques, you are going to encounter some difficulties. So I would suggest: ? 1. Say, Add New Command. 2. Into the first edit field, give the command a name, such as, Comma Full or Period Full. 3. Tab several times to reach the edit field for entering text. 4. Type, comma or period. 5. Tab to the plain text check box and check it. 6. Tab to Save and press Space. 7. Into your document, say the term you entered, such as, comma full, and the word will be spelled out. ? Brian Hartgen Hartgen Consultancy.

How do I get Dragon to understand that I want to insert the literal word for a punctuation mark e.g., period instead of "." Instead of "Write period after the symbol." I get "Write . after the symbol."
I have to go into Spell Mode and phonetically spell out the word. The document I'm creating has a lot of occurrences of "period", "comma", etc, and I'm not looking forward to having to do phonetic spelling for all of them.
Thanks,
Dani?
