Just curious, how do you enter a period or comma, or start a new sentence in speech to text? My text messages are all run on sentences when I use it.

I said "period" once but it spelled out period. :-)

You can't. Windows Phone doesn't support any punctuation, the exception being that it seems to automatically add a question mark to the end of anything that begins with who, what, when, where, how, or why. Aside from that. There's nothing Period (pun intended)

No speech recognition software is 100% perfect. Look at all these common homophones in the English language: List of English Homophones

I have a contact named Leeanne, but it thinks I am saying Lee and .... so it can't ever find the contact. :D

That's a shame. The accuracy is very good and i find myself using it more and more. Still quicker to say the message and add the punctuation after so that will do for now.

They should maybe combine buttons on the screen with speech to allow you to add punctuation while you talk. Or maybe certain sounds could be used instead of words...although how can you tell someone 'make a 'click' sound'

Now we're getting back to that old Victor Borge classic ... phonetic punctuation.

I've found that if you speak one sentence at a time, and let it repeat it back to you, it will add a period in between each segment. Just keep saying "add more" to speak additional sentences. Oops, that's for Windows 8 phones. I don't know if it works for earlier ones - sorry!
