One would have to use Spelling Mode to spell out anything that is not in our vocabulary and add that word as a custom word. Things like "int" or "std" come to mind. Another tool for customization would be Text Macros. An example of a Text Macro is: I speak a voice command like "Standard Greeting" and Dragon Dictate inserts the text "Ladies and Gentlemen:". Creating custom Text Macros for frequently used terminology and context for a particular programming language would be another part of the necessary customization to make dictating code a truly efficient process.<br><br><br>David Popovitch<br><br>Product Manager, Dragon<br><br>Nuance Communications, Inc.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kenneth Elkind<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Assistive Technology Specialist<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(617) 287- 5243<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:Kenneth.elkind@umb.edu">Kenneth.elkind@umb.edu</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Skype User Number: adaptiveumb<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Medium","sans-serif"'>Adaptive Computer Lab<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Maximizing Learning Potential<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Learn about the <a href="http://www.umb.edu/it/getting_services/computer_labs/adaptive_computer_lab/">Adaptive Computer Lab</a><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
