Dictating numbers in number mode
To improve the recognition of digits and numbers in your text, particularly
when you want to dictate long sequences of numbers like credit-card
numbers, enter number mode during dictation.
Say "Begin numbers" at the place in your text where you want to dictate the
number. Then say each digit of the number you want. If you want a special
character or symbol inserted in the sequence, say the name for it. You can see
the list of symbols and characters available in number mode by saying "What
Can I Say for Dictation" before saying "Begin numbers".
To exit number mode and continue with normal dictation, say "Return" or
"Cancel". If you switch focus to another window, you will automatically exit
number mode.
