Punctuation and line breaks.

Speak punctuation.

Say period or full stop, comma, colon, semicolon, question mark or exclamation mark.

Quoted punctuation words and phrases about punctuation are guarded so they can stay as words.

A punctuation instruction may occasionally appear as words, especially after a number or amount. Correct the delivered text or its Activity item; that edit does not change future dictations.

Formatting can add a missing terminal mark but cannot replace one already supplied by recognition. If a question ends with a full stop, change it yourself.

Start a line or paragraph.

Say new line or new paragraph. Breaks also work at the beginning or end of a dictation. Each line gets its own closing punctuation; an ellipsis before a break is preserved.

Capitalization and spacing.

Voice Fortress capitalizes sentences and “I”, and adjusts spacing around the cursor or selection.

Names may need manual capitalization. Replacing a short selection may add a full stop to a fragment; existing question marks, exclamation marks and ellipses are preserved.

Dashes and hyphens.

Punctuation dashes are normalized. Hyphens inside command-line flags stay unchanged.
