This article describes the concept of dictated punctuation and styling, and the different phrases that are automatically interpreted by Claudio.
When professional clients dictate for the purpose of getting an audio transcribed into a letter or a report, they might dictate the punctuation and how they want the document laid out.
As an example, they might say "period" or "full stop", every time they want the symbol "." (period) inserted.
They might say "new line" or "new paragraph" when they want the sentence to end and a new paragraph to start. They might say "Heading" or "Sub-Heading" followed by a word or phrase that they want styled as a Heading or Sub-Heading for their specific template.
Claudio automatically detects these words and phrases in the dictation and replaces it with the correct symbols and styling as needed.
The list below are the defaults supported by Claudio. The Profile configuration allows for the addition for other phrases as needed.
