C H A P T E R 4 Dictating Names, Numbers & Punctuation
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 78
These commands change the last number dictated or a selected number.
The “Format That Number” and “Format That Spelled Out” commands work
for numerals and currency, but not for dates, times of day, telephone numbers, and most
fractions.
Using Numbers Mode
Any time you need to dictate a series of numbers and do not want
Dragon NaturallySpeaking to recognize them as words, you can turn on
Numbers Mode. This could be useful, for example, if you are dictating
in a speadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel®.
To turn Numbers Mode on and off:
1 From the NaturallySpeaking menu, point to Words and then click
Numbers Mode. You can also say “Start Numbers Mode” or “Numbers Mode
On.”
A check appears beside the menu command to indicate that Numbers
Mode is on.
2 Click Numbers Mode again. You can also say “Stop Numbers Mode” or
“Numbers Mode Off.”
The check disappears, indicating that Numbers Mode is off.
