3 Say the name of the special character. (In this example, say “double dagger” to
enter ‡.)
4 Click or say “OK.” Dragon NaturallySpeaking types the special character (‡) in
your document and adds it to your vocabulary.
5 To give a special character a spoken form, choose View/Edit from the Words
menu on the DragonBar. This opens the Vocabulary Editor.
6 From the Display drop-down list at the bottom of the Vocabulary Editor,
choose Custom Words Only. You will see the special character you just entered
under the Written form column, as shown in this illustration.
7 Click on the special character to select it. In the illustration above, the special
character is already selected.
The special character
you dictated is
shown in the Written
form column.
