Correcting Punctuation

Note the following when correcting punctuation:
nWhen you select a phrase (more than one word) that has
punctuation, be sure to dictate that punctuation. For example,
say you initially dictated, “To day is Thur sday I have a
meeti ng at 11 o ’cloc k” and the text was transcribed as “Tod ay
is Thur sday, I hav e a meetin ga t 11 o’cloc k.” If you want to
change the comma to a period, say “Se lect Thur sday
comma .” If the correct punctuation appears in the Correction
menu, select it. Otherwise, you can dictate over the selection
by, for example, saying “Thu rsday pe riod.”
nWhen you select punctuation, the Correction menu might list
alternate punctuation
nIf Natural Punctuation is turned on, when you select a phrase
that Dragon has added punctuation to, the choices will include
punctuation changes .
When you select a word that has adjacent punctuation the
Natural Punctuation feature added, the selection will extend to include
that punctuation.
