Roman numerals
You can dictate Roman numerals by saying “Roman numeral” and the
number. For large numbers, say the number in small combinations (as
in the examples shown here).
Don’t pause after the word “Roman Numeral” when you’re dictating a
Roman numeral. If you pause, Dragon NaturallySpeaking may enter, for
example, “Roman numeral three” instead of “III.”
Postal and ZIP Codes
