Currency in US/Canada (US English dialect)
Currency in Other Dialects (UK, Australian, Indian, and Southeast Asian
English)
Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses the currency symbol ($, £, and so on)
specified in your Windows Regional Settings as your default currency.
Dictate other currencies by first saying the currency symbol followed by
the digits.
US/Canada: If your Regional Settings are set to the United States or
Canada, your default currency is $ (dollar). If you want to dictate a dollar
currency amount, dictate it the way you normally do. If you want to
dictate a pound sterling currency amount, say, for example, “pound
sterling sign fifty eight” (to enter £ 58), and so on.
In US/Canada, you must say “pound sterling sign” to enter £, since “pound sign”
means # in the U.S. vocabulary. In all other dialects, you can say “pound sign” to type £.
