Chapter 12: Improving recognition accuracy
Auto-formatting numbers, if greater than or equal to
Enters numbers as numerals if they are equal to or greater than the value
shown in the drop-down list. If the number is less than the chosen value,
the number is spelled out. For example, using the value of "10", Dragon will
write "five" when you dictate "five" and "11" when you dictate "eleven".
The available values are:
n 0
n 2
n 10
n 100
Note: You can also use Dragon to enter numbers as Arabic or Roman
numerals. See Dictation commands.
Auto-formatting units of measure
Turns on automatic formatting of standard units of measure, such as feet
and inches. For example, if you say "Six Foot Three Inches", Dragon enters
6'3".
If a unit of measure is not formatted in the way you expect, you can also
use the Word Properties dialog box to use an alternate form for that
particular unit of measure.
Auto-formatting ISO currency codes
If you have selected the Prices option, then you can select "ISO currency
codes" to display currency amounts with the International Standards
Organization currency symbol corresponding to the region and language set
for your Windows operating system or, if different, for your user profile (see
How region and language affect number and currency punctuation).
For example, if your profile's region is set to United States and you enable
both the Prices and ISO currency codes Auto-Formatting options, when you
dictate "Ten Dollars" Dragon enters "USD10".
Auto-formatting phone numbers
Turns on automatic formatting of telephone numbers.
For U.S. English User Profiles using the United States or Canada for
the Region: Turns on automatic formatting North American telephone
numbers when you speak a sequence of seven or ten numbers. For
example, if you say "7815551234", Dragon will transcribe "781-555-1234".
