The reason no one has addressed your problem is that probably, no one has replicated it. If we can't replicate it we can't tell you how to fix it. As a workaround, you could try turning letter mode off with the command, letter mode off. Then the buildup of the word will be spoken instead of each letter. Hope that's helpful. -----Original Message----- From: j-say-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:j-say-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Judy Watford Sent: Friday, February 17, 2012 7:15 AM To: j-say@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [j-say list] Re: Dragon not accepting commands noone has addressed my spelling problem in the correction box. I am just getting an echo on the first letter and then it is sometimes transcribing the rest. I have to go to the keyboard to find out.

To issue a keystroke command I say 'press' right? Like "press alt f4"?
