I've never used such software comma but can't think it would be that onerous hyphen once you've assimilated the quote grammar quote stop It would be rather like composing the telegrams at a wedding of forty years ago exclamation once you've started you can't stop stop

A friend of mine did a PhD in mathematics and got RSI before she was due to write up her thesis, so ended up dictating the material using Dragon Naturally Speaking. Of course, she needed to include lots of quite complex mathematical notation and technical terms, and as far as I remember from what she told me she was able to 'teach' the software names for all the symbols and terms etc that she needed. There must be some way of indicating to the software that 'I am now about to say a name of some symbol', so it knows not to treat it as just another word to transcribe. But my impression talking to her was that there were ways of doing that kind of thing. So it must be quite flexible and I'm sure things like punctuation could easily be specified.

Perhaps you could teach the application to recognise  'comma' as a ',', etc. Perhaps it already knows this, but the user did  not.

Couldn't you say the word comma or stop and then  do a search and replace later on.

Someone at work used voice recognition software recently  following a shoulder operation, and it reportedly worked quite well, but  punctuation was almost non-existent. Are there tricks to including commas,  quotation marks etc?
