TherearesomebroaddifferencesbetweensayingapunctuationmarkinDictation
modeandsayingitinSpellingmode.
InDictationmode,MacSpeechDictatewillattempttoinsertintelligent automatic
spacing.(Forexample,itwillprobablyputaspacebefore“openquote”andafter
“closequote”.)Youmaybeabletopreventthisbyswitching
NoSpace
on.Butfor
nestcontrol,useSpellingmode.
InSpellingmode,ontheotherhand,MacSpeechDictatetypesthesymboland
that’sall.Also,Spellingmodehasalargerrepertoryof punctuationmarks(andof
thingsyoucansaytotypethem).
