Including hyphens as you dictate
To hyphenate words that Dragon doesn’t hyphenate
automatically, just say “hyphen” wherever you want a hyphen.
You can hyphenate words you just dictated with the command
“Hyphenate That.” Select the words you want to hyphenate
and say “Hyphenate That.” If you say this command when no
words are selected, Dragon will usually hyphenate the last few
words that you said.
Removing hyphens
You can remove a hyphen by selecting it and replacing it with a
space.
To remove a hyphen:
1 Say “Select hyphen.”
2 Say “Space Bar.”
Preventing hyphens
You can prevent Dragon from entering a hyphen by pausing
where the hyphen would normally be.
For example, to type “long lasting” (normally hyphenated) say
“long,” then pause for a moment, and then say “lasting.” Or
