Hi, glad you find this useful.

I'd rather keep these kind of replacement tables part of the user configuration.

If you would like to add an example configuration, that can be done here:

https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation/tree/master/examples

It could be called quoted_characters for e.g.

Also, it would be cleaner to use a variable:

REPLACE_PUNCTUATION_LITERALS = (
    ("new line", "\n"),
    ("dash", "-"),
    # ... etc ...
)
# --- snip ---
    for src, dst in REPLACE_PUNCTUATION_LITERALS:
        text = text.replace(src, dst)

Also, the space at the start wont work if someone starts by saying this word.
Regex could be used to detect word boundaries (see other examples that already use regex), or - you could do some trick with Python's string manipulation to support this.

Closing since this isn't an issue to resolve, I would accept a PR that adds an example though.
