Q: Mavericks dictation verbal command list

When using the new dictation Mavericks is there a verbal command to backup or delete?

I can't seem to find this information anywhere.

I guess the whole verbal command list would be great.

Cheers

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Hi decondog,

Welcome to the Support Communities!

The article below explains how to use the Dication feature on the Mac and gives the complete list of Dictation commands.

It would help to know the commands to put spaces between words, and to not capitalize random words. I've tried "no space off" and "all caps off," but it still drops spaces and adds extra capitalization.
