Nuance Management Center

Administrating Dragon with the Nuance Management Console
n Format prices: Enabled by default. Inserts prices and currencies in the proper
format with the appropriate currency symbol. For example, "$10.00" instead of "10
dollars," or " 50,00" instead of "50 euros."
n Format street addresses: Enabled by default. Inserts a properly formatted
street address. For example:
“One seventy West one hundred south number fifty Salt_Lake_City Utah eight
four seven zero zero”
becomes:
“170 W. 100 S., #50, Salt Lake City, UT 84700”
n Format times: Enabled by default. Turns on automatic standard time formatting.
For example, if you say "Six Thirty PM," Dragon Group transcribes "6:30 PM."
Dictating standard time runs on a 12 hour clock, letting you make the distinction
between AM and PM.
Military time: With this option enabled, you can also dictate times in military format.
For example, if you say "sixteen hundred hours," Dragon Group transcribes
"1600 hrs." If you say "oh three oh five hours" or "zero three zero five hours,"
Dragon Group transcribes "0305 hrs."
Dictated Military time uses a 24 hour clock and abbreviates "hours" to "hrs."
n Format web and e-mail addresses: Enabled by default. Applies correct
formatting to Web and e-mail addresses. For example, "john_
[e-mail]" instead of "john_doe at acme corp dot com."
n Insert two spaces after period: Disabled by default. Adds two spaces after the
end of a sentence instead of a single space. Having two spaces at the end of a
sentence used to be standard with mono space fonts produced by typewriters, but
is less common with proportional fonts used in word processing programs. If you do
not select this option, Dragon Group adds a single space after the period.
n "million" instead of ".000.000": Enabled by default. Inserts numbers as a
combination of Arabic numerals and text. For example, "5 million" instead of
"5,000,000."
North American region settings
n Format US Social Security Numbers: Disabled by default. Inserts hyphens in the
appropriate location of a number that contains 9 digits when someone dictates it with
pauses where the hyphens belong.
n Format UK and Canadian postcodes: Disabled by default. Properly formats UK and
Canadian postcodes. For example, "N1 8HQ" instead of "n18hq," or "L3X 1A4" instead
of "l3x1a4." .
n Date format: Controls how Dragon Group formats dates when the day, month,
and year have all been dictated. Select the format you want from the list.
If you use the default Dates As Spoken value, you need to dictate dates in an
unambiguous way, using the name of the month not the digit for the month. For
example, with Dates As Spoken selected, Dragon Group correctly formats
"January eleven two thousand nine" and "the seventh of February two thousand
four" as dates but formats "eleven one two thousand nine" as a number.
