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