This was discussed and addressed before, but the search engine is such that I cannot find the discussion.

How can I get DNS 11.5 to write "email" instead of "e-mail" in all its various forms, i.e., email, emailed, emails, emailing, etc.?

I think I've killed it the hyphen in a few forms of the work, but I have been able to kill it in all. and there seems to be a difference in dictating the word alone, "e-mail" (oops, there it is), vs. in the middle of a phrase.

Another question is.  When I tried to dictate "to write", as above, DNS took me to a web site "write.com", and I had to type "to write."

How to stop that, alsoIs?

When you are utilising Dragon dictate the following: 'Edit Vocabulary'. In the 'Written Form' type or dictate: 'e-mail'. Then click: 'Edit Properties'

Put a tick in: 'Use alternate written form 1' and type: "email"

If you wish to utilise the 'Special' & 'Format' buttons for additional options, then do so, and click okay to save your changes to the properties of the word within DNS. Repeat accordingly for each word.

When I dictated "to write" it appeared as 'to write', so I suspect this is a problem of your dictation style related your annunciation of this word sequence. I often have problems with certain word sequences; so you are not alone on this one.

One solution is to select the problematic phrase and say: 'Train That'. All going well that should eliminate the problem for the future.

James,

I don't think that you meant annunciation, did you? That is, you didn't want to make an announcement. I assume that you meant to say enunciation.

Thank you, brainybanana!  That was easy.  

On one computer,  I had removed "e-mail"as a word in the Vocabulary Editor.  How to restore it?

Didn't know James was a banana, or vis-versa.  Something else I learned.

Chuck, you are correct, that is what I meant! Amusingly, I had just listened to a lecture on the 'Annunciation', and the liturgical significance of said feast day, just observed on 25 March in both the Oriental & Byzantine Orthodox traditions, which explains my error!

James,

Knowing how precise you are with use of language, I found it amusing and strange that Dragon would recognize annunciation. That's normally not a commonly used word. Even so, the first time someone uses it, I would expect the reverse because, for me, I had to train it before it would distinguish between annunciation and enunciation.

To restore a deleted word to the Vocabulary Editor. Open the Vocabulary Editor in the same way as outlined above. At the bottom of the Editor, where you see "Display: all words".

Scroll down to: "Deleted words only".

Highlight the word you want to restore, and click: "Add".
