Dictating Names, Numbers,
Punctuation & Special Characters
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
90
You don’t need to dictate hyphens for most phone numbers (numbers
that are 7, 10, or 11 digits long). Dragon NaturallySpeaking will add
them automatically.
Telephone numbers outside North America
To dictate other phone numbers, including European phone numbers,
you must say all the punctuation, including the hyphens, spaces, and
parentheses.
In dialects other than US/Canada, you can say “bracket” instead of
“parenthesis.”
