voice recognition - What is the list of commands to dictate punctuation, capitalization and line breaks?


I'm on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.3.


I would love to become a power user of the dictation feature to dictate text messages and emails. More often than not, however, I have to hand-edit the dictated text not because of text comprehension issues but because of punctuation, capitalization and spacing problems.


These are the "commands" I've found to work. What is the full list?



"period"     --> .   (works fairly reliably)
"comma" --> , (works fairly reliably)
"new line" --> \n (works about 50% of the time)

I've not gotten capital or anything like that to work, or acronyms. If you know how it works, please share.



Answer

"New Line" or "Next Line"               Press the enter key once, capitalize next word
