Scout can create numbered and bulleted lists as you dictate. List commands insert the list marker on a new line so each item appears on its own line.
Numbered lists
| Say | Output | Alternatives |
|---|
| ”number one” | 1. (on new line) | — |
| “number two” | 2. (on new line) | — |
| “number three” | 3. (on new line) | — |
| “number four” | 4. (on new line) | — |
| “number five” | 5. (on new line) | — |
| “number six” | 6. (on new line) | — |
| “number seven” | 7. (on new line) | — |
| “number eight” | 8. (on new line) | — |
| “number nine” | 9. (on new line) | — |
| “number ten” | 10. (on new line) | — |
| “next number” | Next number in sequence | — |
3. , “next number” inserts 4. .
Bulleted lists
| Say | Output | Alternatives |
|---|
| ”bullet point” | - (on new line) | — |
| “next bullet” | - (on new line) | “next item” |
Example
You say: “number one milk number two eggs number three bread”
Scout types:
You say: “bullet point first idea next bullet second idea next item third idea”
Scout types:
- first idea
- second idea
- third idea
When list commands trigger
List commands require a natural boundary to fire — they must appear at the start of your dictation, after a pause, or after another command like “new paragraph.” This prevents false triggers when you say things like “the number one priority” in the middle of a sentence.
Use “next number” instead of saying the specific number when you’re adding to an existing list. It automatically continues the sequence.
