If you are having problems dictating numbers, currency, times, or
dates, make sure that your Regional Settings match the language (dialect) you
selected when you created your user.
Changing the format of a number
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters a number in a format you don’t
want, you can use voice commands to convert it to a numeral or to
spell it out.
For example, you can change “seven dollars” to “$7” (US/Canada) or
“seven pounds” to “£7” (Other Dialects) by saying “Format That
Number.”
And you can change “$7” to “seven dollars” (US/Canada) or “£7” to
“seven pounds” (Other Dialects) by saying “Format That Spelled Out.”
These commands change the last number dictated or a selected
number.
