Recently, observing a legal academic utilising DNS, I was very much struck by the manner by which he dictated case law. From the individual concerned to dictate: "Smyth v Smyth", the following dictation sequence was utilised: "Smyth spacebar lowercase victor spacebar Smyth". The academic concerned utilises DNS 11 Premium, so I shared with him my workaround, which I now share for any interested party. Open the Vocabulary Editor. In the written form enter v [v. in the United States] and in the written form enter: "case sign" and add to the vocabulary accordingly. Then open the properties of the newly added word. Utilise the Format the next word option, so DNS will capitalise the next word that is dictated. Other workarounds to cite case law with the appropriate legal citation is to utilise the 'Add Word' function within DNS. In the written form: a) cut and paste the case name and citation with say "smyth and smyth" in the spoken form; b) utilise the 'Make That a Phrase' command, and enter the desired shortcut in the 'Spoken Form' Box. Both options work equally well for me. Importantly, they are a significant timesaver. I would be extremely interested to see if other forum members proffer ways in which this can be improved, and/or have other legal workarounds that they utilise daily. ------------------------- DNS 12.0 Professional, Windows 7, Intel Core i7 2630QM, 16GB of RAM.

Another option, if you are using KnowBrainer 2011, is the Add to Vocabulary command which rather than opening the Vocabulary Editor, which can take up to 6 endless seconds, utilizes the DNS Add word or phrase utility. The Add to Vocabulary command copies the last dictated or highlighted phrase to the clipboard (highlighting the last spoken phrase isn't necessary), opens the Add Word utility, pastes the copied phrase into the 1st box, clicks the Add button and returns your cursor to the previous Window (in under 2 seconds). Note that you will need to remove the unnecessary checkmark from I want to train the pronunciation this word or phrase in the Add word or phrase utility.

for Legislation that you use often I create a command: In this case mine is called "the Act First" This is what it prints for my use: Workers’ Compensation Act, R.S.A. 2000, c. W-15 (the Act) The actual command is in the attached document

Another written form you could try is 'V space'. No great advantage though so use would depend on personal preference. Might roll off the tongue more easily when dictating a part of a phrase. Rog |
