VoiceIn sometimes (but not always) adds the possessive apostrophe when the noun is singular (“a student’s grades”) but doesn’t ever seem to insert it when the noun is plural (“first-year students’ grades”). I tried adding a custom voice command to add the apostrophe, but when I use the command, it inserts the punctuation mark with spaces around it (“first-year students ’ grades”). Is there any way to automate possessive apostrophes more effectively?
What voice command did you add?
I tried students => students’ . It works fine.
I tried apostrophe=>'. VoiceIn doesn’t seem to know when to insert the possessive apostrophe or when to use the simple plural. Sometimes I need to say a plural work such as “students” without the apostrophe, so the above command wouldn’t work for that purpose. I’m not sure how to add a custom command that appends the apostrophe when a plural word is posessive without it adding the space in between.
Try adding
students apostrophe => students’
The problem is we format text treating ’ as a single quote. You will need to use a command of the form above to achieve your desired result.
