# Voice for Android Training: Dictation Punctuation & Formatting

Below are just a few of the commands you can use while you're dictating to add punctuation and formatting to your transcript.

**.** = say **PERIOD** **,** = say **COMMA** **(** = say **OPEN PAREN** **)** = say **CLOSE PAREN** **[** = say **OPEN BRACKET** **]** = say **CLOSE BRACKET** **"** = say **OPEN QUOTE** **"** = say **CLOSE QUOTE** move the cursor one line down = say **NEW LINE** move the cursor two lines down = say **NEW PARAGRAPH**

You can dictate without saying punctuation when you use Intelligent Formatting.
