C H A P T E R 4 Dictating Names, Numbers & Punctuation
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 77
Dragon NaturallySpeaking automatically includes a numeric comma (a
comma without a trailing space) in numbers with five or more digits (for
example, 12,537). To include a comma in a four-digit number, you must
say “comma.”
Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses the decimal separator (dot or comma) and the
digit grouping symbol specified in your Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel.
Changing the format of a number
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters a number in a format you don’t
want, you can use voice commands to convert it to a numeral or to spell it
out.
For example, you can change “seven dollars” to “$7” ( US/Canada ) or
“seven pounds” to “£ 7” ( Other Dialects ) by saying “Format That Number.”
And you can change “$7” to “seven dollars” ( US/Canada ) or “£ 7” to
“seven pounds” ( Other Dialects ) by saying “Format That Spelled Out.”
