1/10, and 1/16 or a multiple of these fractions, just say the
fraction normally.
If the denominator (bottom number in the fraction) is greater
than 10, you can enter the fraction by saying “slash” or “over”
between the two numbers.
A few common fractions can also be displayed on your
computer as special characters (such as ¼, ½, or ¾) instead of
two numbers separated by a slash character (such as 1/4, 1/2, or
3/4). For information about dictating fraction characters, see
Switching recognition modes on page 119.
Roman numerals
You can dictate Roman numerals by saying “Roman numeral”
and the number. For large numbers, say the number in small
combinations (as in the examples shown here).
