Dictation in MS Word

I am getting the hang of dictation in MS Word but cannot find a way of dictating unusual words. For example, I have the surname ‘Bagg’ (a character in a book I am writing) but cannot figure out the way you say ‘Bagg’ for it to appear in the text. Another example is ‘McKfee’. 

What’s the trick for dictating such words?

 

PS I have the latest version of Word.

    I don't think it is capable yet, man! If ever!
    Like Subtitles generated in youtube, it is only 95% accurate!
    If it was a person at the other end... it would be different. I am sure they are slowly introducing new words...
    I am sorry no one has responded to you, but I think this is what they would say!
    Mine usually does not work at all, which is why I need to speak to a tech person!
