Q: How do I get Dictation to type a full-stop instead of the word "period"?
How do I get Dictation to type punctuation? The support article says that you just have to speak it in order for it to appear but I just get one long run-on sentence with the word "period" many times in the middle.

Try the alternatives: "point," "dot," and/or "full stop." Do any of these options produce a period for you? And, as a different punctuation test, does something such as "comma" work for you?
