What is the best way to spell out words character by character using Windows
Speech Recognition? I tried the tutorial in Vista Beta 2, and it recommended
using the "press" command when spelling out characters, but this can get kind
of clumsy when spelling out a lot of letters. Is there a spelling mode
available in Windows Speech Recognition that would meet my needs? Can
letters be spelled via the NATO phonetic alphabet?

I utilize speech recognition a lot, as I have a neuromuscular disability,
but I am a computer programmer so much of what I say does not follow the
traditional syntax of English grammar but instead I need to follow the syntax
of programming languages. This necessitates the ability to efficiently spell
words often, at least in my case. Any suggestions you can give me will be
greatly appreciated.

Say the thing that you want speech recognition to right then say correct
(whatever it wrote) then say I'll spell it
