The importance of Spoken Forms

Radio programs often tell their listeners “let us know how to pronounce your name” because some names could

be pronounced in several ways and some are not pronounced “the way they are written” (due to silent letters,

for instance). This is true for more than just names. Acronyms are often pronounced letter by letter, but not

always: ASAP is pronounced "ay sap" by many people. These facts are addressed by an important Dragon

feature: the Spoken Form.

From the Display drop-down list of the Vocabulary Editor, choose “Words with spoken forms only.” Take a

moment to scroll through and look at existing spoken forms; you will get ideas for what kinds of entries warrant

them and how they can be written.

TIP

Vocabulary entries may have more than one spoken form. You may add spoken forms to custom entries as

well as to existing entries, in order to be able to dictate them as comes naturally to you: for example, to enter

the symbol ©, you might like to say “circle see” instead of the existing spoken form “copyright sign.”

Spoken forms must not include punctuation, abbreviations, or symbols. Here are a few examples:

Written Form: The Man from U.N.C.L.E

Spoken Form: the man from uncle

Written Form: St. Clement's Hospital

Spoken Form: Saint Clements Hospital

Written Form: Soddy-Daisy, TN.

Spoken Form: Soddy Daisy Tennessee
