# How to spell an uncommon word?

Sometimes, Voice In may struggle to transcribe uncommon words, such as a company's name. In these cases, you can dictate the word by spelling it out, one letter at a time. 

For example, to type "candy," say each letter quickly: "C-A-N-D-Y."

To capitalize the first letter, say: "Capitalize next C-A-N-D-Y," and it will type "Candy."

Note: Capitalize next is a [voice command in English](https://dictanote.co/voicein/voicecommands/en/). If you are not dictating in English, use the equivalent in voice command for that language.

If you use this uncommon word frequently, create a voice command for it. Refer to the Custom Voice Commands linked below for how to create a custom voice command.
