# Lists

> Create numbered and bulleted lists with your voice.

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 | —            |

"Number one" through "number ten" insert the specific number. "Next number" auto-increments from the last numbered item — if your last item was `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:**
>
> ```
> 1. milk
> 2. eggs
> 3. bread
> ```

> **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.

<Tip>
  Use **"next number"** instead of saying the specific number when you're adding to an existing list. It automatically continues the sequence.
