Chapter 12: Improving recognition accuracy
Auto-formatting times
Turns on automatic formatting of standard time formats. For example, if
you say "Six Thirty PM", Dragon will transcribe "6:30 PM". Dictating
standard time runs on a 12 hour clock, letting you make the distinction
between AM and PM.
Military time: With the Time option enabled, you can also dictate times in
military format. For example, if you say "sixteen hundred hours", Dragon
transcribes "1600 hrs". If you say "oh three oh five hours" or "zero three
zero five hours", Dragon transcribes "0305 hrs".
Dictating Military time uses a 24-hour clock and abbreviates "hours" to
"hrs".
Auto-formatting UK and Canadian postcodes
Turns on proper formatting of UK postcodes and Canadian postal codes. For
example, with the option on, format a London postcode by saying "W Two
Four R J" to enter W2 4RJ, and format a Toronto postal code by saying "M
Five H Two L Two" to enter M5H 2L2.
Auto-formatting other numbers
Enables the formatting of all numbers not covered by other options on this
dialog box, such as negative numbers, numbers with punctuation, fractions,
decimals, and Roman numerals.
Note:Dragon applies Auto-formatting for mixed numbers and also for
fractions where the denominator is 5 or greater, but not for simple fractions
like "one half," "two thirds," and "three quarters."
For more information, see Dictating numbers.
Auto-formatting US social security numbers
Turns on automatic formatting of U.S. Social Security Numbers when you
speak a sequence of 9 numbers. For example, if you say "123456789,"
Dragon enters "123-45-6789."
Auto-formatting using Word Properties
Use Word Properties to customize how Dragon enters words or phrases as
you dictate them. Word Properties can add custom spacing before and
after, next word capitalization, settings for numbers before and after, or
apply alternate written forms, such as abbreviations.
To add or edit Word Properties, see Creating Word Properties.
