# Built-In Substitutions

Built-in substitutions are commands which are "built in" to the dictation server. They appear as substitutions in a dictation transcript on the Detail Review & Correct page, but are not listed on the Substitutions page for an organization or account in nVoq Administrator.

Built-in substitutions include:

- **Caps**...capitalize first letter of one word
- **Caps On / Caps Off**...capitalize first letter of all words
- **All Caps**...capitalize all letters of one word
- **All Caps On / All Caps Off**...capitalize all letters of all words
- **Lowercase** or **Overwrite**...start the first word of the dictation with a lowercase letter
- **Number Next / Next Number**...create an automatic numbered list
- **Letter Next / Next Letter**...create an automatic lettered list

To see how these commands are used in a sentence, see [**Formatting Commands**](/v1/docs/formatting-commands).

Some formatting commands are NOT built-in substitutions but are instead accomplished using *inverse text normalization* (ITN). These include:

- New Line / Next Line
- New Paragraph / Next Paragraph / Paragraph
- Capital A / Letter A
- Numeral 1 Period / One Period
- Open Quote / Quote
- Close Quote / Unquote
