# addsPunctuation

A Boolean value that indicates whether to add punctuation to speech recognition results.

```
var addsPunctuation: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Set this property to `true` for the speech framework to automatically include punctuation in the recognition results. Punctuation includes a period or question mark at the end of a sentence, and a comma within a sentence.
