Spacing
In general, Dragon will automatically insert or suppress spacing where appropriate. For example, spaces are inserted between words and after punctuation such as periods and commas, but suppressed around hyphens. If you need to make special adjustments, use these commands.
To insert a space
- Say Space bar.
To adjust spacing as you dictate
- Say No space <word> to prevent automatic insertion of a space before the next word.
- Say No space on to prevent automatic insertion of a space between a string of words (such as a Web address).
- Say No space off to go back to normal spacing.
To delete a space before a word you already dictated
- Say Insert before <word> to place the cursor before the word.
- Say No leading space or Press the key Delete.
Remember, in some applications, it's better not to use your mouse and keyboard while dictating text. See Mixing dictation with typing for more information, including a list of currently supported applications.
