Hi Raul, Melissa and others, Is there an easy way at this point to indicate while you dictate that you want SIRI to spell a word, e.g. there are names SIRI never seems to understand and it would be very nice if one could just say something like "spell mode on" or something like that and this would indicate to SIRI that whatever comes until I say "spell mode off" that it should spell out the word letter by letter.
I completely agree that dictation requires practice just as typing with Fleksy or Braille Touch does and assuming one can just speak away and get great results definitely does not work. I usually get reasonably good results, but I, for example, never had much luck with the various commands like "Caps On" or "All Caps On'" etc. I have a listing of SIRI commands and tried to dictate using those exact examples, but some of them just did not seem to work. Maybe I should try it again since it's been a while since I tried to use more advanced features beyond basic sentences with basic punctuation.

In fact as I write this, I am not really writing. I am actually dictating. Yet on my punctuation is in there correctly. If you want more suggestions on how to use punctuation and dictation in general, do a Google search for Dragon dictation suggestions. You might even include the word punctuation. Also, sometime last year I believe I sent the list the web address where I get a lot of my dictation tips for them. I hope this helps someone. Period.
