Notes
n Most of these examples only work as shown when the appropriate number
formatting options are selected on the Auto-formatting dialog box.
n If you want a comma in a four-digit number, you must speak it explicitly.
Numbers with five or more digits automatically include commas.
n To force recognition of digits as numerals instead of text without using the
Numbers Mode, say "Numeral" before you say the digit, for example, say
"Numeral Three" to get 3.
n You can use or omit the word "and" as part of a number. For example, say
"one hundred fifty" instead of "one hundred and fifty" to get the number
150.
n You can use "oh" and "zero" interchangeably to get 0.
n The way Dragon formats the currency symbol, the thousand separator,
the decimal separator, the negative symbol, and the time separator
depends on the configuration of the Regional Settings (or on some ver-
sions of Windows, Regional Options) in the Windows Control Panel. For
these numbers to be formatted according to the conventions of the lan-
guage you are dictating, you must make sure that the Windows Regional
Settings match the language.
n You can set the currency symbol and format that Dragon uses by select-
ing the "ISO currency codes" option on the Auto-formatting dialog box.
Dragon then uses the currency character and format specified on the
Regional Options tab of the Regional and Languages Options tool in your
