Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
substitutes the @ sign for the spoken "at," uses a period for "dot," and omits spaces. Or if
you say "www dot nuance dot com," Dragon enters www.nuance.com.
Auto-formatting street addresses
Turns on automatic formatting of postal addresses. For example, if you say "49 orchard
lane boston massachusetts oh two four four six," Dragon enters "49 Orchard Lane, Bos-
ton, MA 02446."
Certain addresses can be hard for Dragon to interpret. For example, "Two Hundred Forty
Fifth Street" could be interpreted as 245th Street, 200 45th Street, or 240 5th Street. In a
situation like this, Dragon uses context to try to determine what you meant. In some
cases, using the word "And" can help to narrow down the choices. In the example above,
saying "Two Hundred And Forty Fifth Street" would eliminate 200 45th Street as a pos-
sibility.
For user profiles whose region setting is UKor Canada: This option also enables the
proper formatting of UK postcodes and Canadian postal codes. For example, you could
format a postcode for London by saying "W Two Four R J" to enter W2 4RJ, and format a
postal code for Toronto by saying "M Five H Two L Two" to enter M5H 2L2."

For user profiles whose region setting is United States: If you are using a U.S. Eng-
lish user profile, you can enable UK postcodes and Canadian postal codes from the UK
and Canadian postcodes option in this dialog box.
