Hi.
I recently found out that you can specify certain punctuation symbols
while using voice dictation. I also read and was able to confirm that
you can use the word cap to indicate that the word you're about to speak
should be capitalized. Bearing this in mind, I have a few questions.
What if you dictate the sentence "put your thinking cap on." Is Siri
smart enough to know that you mean the word cap and not the word On with
a capital O?
For that matter, if I use the phrase "short period of time" is Siri
smart enough to know that I mean the word period and not the punctuation
mark?
When you're dictating a question, do you say "question" or "question mark."
I'd like it if someone could post a set of rules, as well as tricks, dos
and don'ts to voice dictation to make the text look presentable. I
realize that I'm typically using voice dictation to compose quick text
messages as opposed to a final draft of a novel but I really like my
writing to look somewhat organized and not just a jumbled mess to
sighted readers. Thanks in advance.
