s spelling and z spelling Thread poster: Oliver Pekelharing

Does anyone know a trick to force dragon to use s or z spelling in UK English? The only thing I can think of is to create two separate profiles and delete all the unwanted s/z variants. Thanks, Olly Edit: Having said that, I just tried to find and delete the word 'organization' for my s-spelling profile, but it doesn't exist, and yet dragon always inserts the z-form when I speak the word! Does anyone know what gives?

My Dragon always spells organisation like this, and that goes all the words ending in-ation. When I trained it at first, I chose the UK English option, or whatever it's called. I'm dictating this right now on Dragon: organisation, realisation, lyophilisation... etc. (NB: I had to write "etc" by hand, because Dragon always writes 'et cetera' when I say it... | | | Nora Diaz Mexico Local time: 23:04 Member (2002) English to Spanish + ...

My problem is that some clients require me to use the z and others the s. But the solution of creating one profile for each is working for me so far.
