Dictating Names, Numbers, Punctuation & Special Characters
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
96
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.
Dictating e-mail and Web addresses
Dictate e-mail and Web addresses as you would normally say them. Dragon 
NaturallySpeaking automatically formats them for you.
Here are some guidelines for dictating e-mail and Web addresses:
When you say “h t t p” or “w w w,” Dragon NaturallySpeaking knows to format 
the next words you say as a Web address.
