Times of day
Dictate the time of day the way you would normally say it.
US/Canada: Dragon automatically types the colon (:) if you say
“a m” or “p m” when dictating the time. Say “o’clock” or “colon
zero zero” to enter 00.
Dragon will recognize times more accurately if you say “numeric
colon” instead of “colon” when dictating times.
Other Dialects: Dragon automatically types the point (.) if you say
“a m” or “p m” when dictating the time, depending on the
regional setting. Say “o’clock” or “point zero zero” to enter .00.
The format of “a.m.” and “p.m.” depends on your computer’s
regional Windows
