5. How to spell while dictating

 

Natural spelling only works in the Correction Dialog. If you want a spell out an acronym during dictation, then you have two choices. You can either spell the acronym using the alpha-bravo military alphabet (described in How to Get the Best Performance When Spelling), or by dictating the acronym and then correcting it in the Correction Dialog. Once your are in the Correction Dialog you can then spell the acronym using the natural alphabet.


If you dictate the acronym and then correct it, you will be adding the acronym to your vocabulary. However, if you spell out the acronym using the alpha-bravo military alphabet, then the word will not be added to your vocabulary. Use whichever method is most convenient.


(Of course you can always stopped dictating to spell out the acronym on the keyboard.)
