Dictating Numbers, Punctuation, and Special Characters

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
Dictating uncommon special characters on page 119.
