Numbers Mode -- Dictating Numbers Exclusively

When you are about to dictate a sequence of numeric data, consider switch on Dragon’s Numbers Mode. When

in this mode, the software tries to recognize everything it hears as number-related (or as a command).

Step 1: Say numbers mode on or choose Numbers Mode from the DragonBar’s Modes menu. (Notice the status

message in the DragonBar.)

Now that Dragon is in Numbers mode, you can:

dictate numbers and punctuation (hyphen, dollar sign…). For decimal point, say dot or point.•

say new line, new paragraph and space •

say move up|down|left|right <number> to move the focus in your document’s lines or cells.•

Step 2: To resume regular dictation, you can say a command such as switch to normal mode, or use the Modes

menu.

Spell Mode -- Dictating Letters, Digits, and Other Characters

The Spell Mode is very useful for dictating character sequences which don’t form pronounceable words, as is

often the case for part numbers, license plate numbers, codes… (It’s also useful for spelling out terms which

you anticipate Dragon won’t know, such as words in a foreign language or unusual product names.)

Step 1: Say Spell Mode on or Switch to Spell Mode. The DragonBar will indicate that Spell Mode is on.

You can now dictate characters, including letters, digits, and symbols, as well as spacebar. •

To capitalize a letter, say cap immediately followed by the letter.•

As in Numbers Mode, you can use the move <direction> <number> commands to navigate, and say •

space. Dragon will not automatically add spaces as it usually does.

You cannot use new line or new paragraph, but you can say press Enter.•

Step 2: You can return to normal dictating by voice (Spell Mode off…) or by hand (Modes menu> Normal Mode).
