If you are having problems dictating numbers, currency, times,
or dates, make sure that your Regional Settings match the language
(dialect) you selected when you created your user.
Using Numbers mode
Any time you need to dictate a series of numbers and do not
want Dragon to recognize them as words, you can turn on
Numbers Mode. This could be useful, for example, if you are
dictating in a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft
®
Excel
®
.
To turn on Numbers Mode, say “Start Numbers Mode” or
“Numbers Mode On.” To turn off Numbers Mode, say, “Stop
Numbers Mode” or “Numbers Mode Off” or “Switch to
Normal Mode.”
For more information on Numbers Mode and more ways to
turn Numbers Mode on and off, see the section Switching
recognition modes on page 119.
Dates
You can dictate most dates the way you would normally say
them. Say “oh” or “zero” to enter 0. In dialects other than US/
Canada, you can also say “nought.”
See also Automatic formatting of dates, times, telephone
numbers on page 106.
