Words that end with ’s

To dictate a word ending with apostrophe S (’s), just say it as
you normally would. Dragon will often add it. If Dragon doesn’t
include the ’s, you can add it later.

Including ’s as you dictate

When you want to make sure that Dragon types a word with ’s,
say “apo strophe ess” after saying the word. For wo rds that
already end in “s,” say “apo stroph e” after the word, as in the
second example shown here.
You can add ‘s to a word by selecting it and then saying it again
with “apostrophe ess.“
Dictating hyphenated words
Many hyphenated words and phrases are already in the Dragon
vocabulary. To dictate a word or phrase that is usually
hyphenated, just say it as you normally would.
