Key points about dictating numbers and special text

9 Dragon can format dates, times, prices, street addresses, phone numbers, Web addresses, units of

measure, and other special text automatically. The Formatting dialog (from the Tools menu) lets you

turn these built-in rules off or on as desired.

9 The restricted recognition modes can make dictating special text more efficient. They are accessible

by voice commands (“Numbers Mode on”, “switch to Normal Mode”) and through the DragonBar’s

Words menu.

9 If you will be dictating only numbers and punctuation, consider turning Numbers Mode on.

9 If dictating a long sequence of characters (letters, digits, punctuation, symbols), consider Spell Mode.

(The Spell command is good for short sequences which you can say all at once, without pausing.)

9 When spelling out, you can insert a capital letter by saying cap just before the letter, and you can say

space or spacebar.
