For example:<\/p>\n<p>Utter: <code>This broccoli yogurt <strong>comma<\/strong> it tastes yummy <strong>exclamation point<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n<p>To Get: <em>This broccoli yogurt, it tastes yummy!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Line\/New Paragraph<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A command recently added to the Android Dictation repertoire is <code>New Line<\/code>. It acts like pressing the Enter\/Return key on the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Utter: <code>milk <strong>new line<\/strong> butter <strong>new line<\/strong> eggs <strong>new line<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n<p>To Get: <em>milk<br \/>\nbutter<br \/>\neggs<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To make it work, you really need to pause before and after you say <code>new line<\/code>, otherwise the text <em>new line<\/em> is inserted.<\/p>\n<p>The <code>New Paragraph<\/code> command works similarly to <code>new line<\/code>, through it gives you two presses of the Enter key, allowing for some space between each line.<\/p>\n<p>Utter: <code>And it was night <strong>period new paragraph<\/strong> In the morning<\/code><\/p>\n<p>To Get: <em>And it was night.<\/p>\n<p>In the morning<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Still Needs Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Android dictation still has no way to capitalize a word. There is no <em>capitalize<\/em> or <em>initial cap<\/em> command. I&#8217;m not even sure whether Google is working on it, though I know a lot of people ask.<\/p>\n<p>Dictation also freely interprets numbers, so a method for uttering <em>four<\/em> or <em>4<\/em> doesn&#8217;t yet exist.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, there&#8217;s now way to dictate text editing.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the live dictation feature in Android Jelly Bean is pretty cool and works quite well for quick notes and memos. Given that you don&#8217;t have to suffer through hours of training, I&#8217;m impressed.<\/p>\n<p>When there are any dictation command updates, you can read them here on Wambooli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a quick reference for those of you who enjoy dictation on your Android mobile gizmo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[8],"class_list":["post-3965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-main","tag-android"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3965"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3965\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4137,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3965\/revisions\/4137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
