Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
For example, if you say "Don't go near the water", Dragon transcribes "Do not go near the
water".
If you leave this option turned off, Dragon enters contractions the way you dictate them.
Note:In some situations, the formal expression of a contraction may be ambiguous. For
example, the phrase "It's always" could either mean "It is always" or "It has always,"
depending on the tense of the verb that follows. In this situation, Dragon always expands
the contraction, regardless of how this option is set.
Auto-formatting “ million” instead of ” ,000,000”
Enable this option to have Dragon enter the word "million"rather than zeros and commas
(",000,000") when you dictate round numbers in the millions. For example, Dragon
enters "8million" rather than "8,000,000."
If a number in the millions range is not rounded to the nearest million, Dragon enters the
number as digits. For example, if you dictate "eight million one hundred thousand"
Dragon enters "8,100,000".
Auto-formatting numbers, if greater than or equal to
Enters numbers as numerals if they are equal to or greater than the value shown in the
drop-down list. If the number is less than the chosen value, the number is spelled out.
For example, using the value of "10", Dragon will write "five" when you dictate "five" and
"11" when you dictate "eleven".
The available values are:
n 0
n 2
n 10
n 100
Note: You can also use Dragon to enter numbers as Arabic or Roman numerals. See Dic-
tation commands.
Auto-formatting units of measure
Turns on automatic formatting of standard units of measure, such as feet and inches. For
example, if you say "Six Foot Three Inches", Dragon enters 6'3".
If a unit of measure is not formatted in the way you expect, you can also use the Word
Properties dialog box to use an alternate form for that particular unit of measure.
Auto-formatting ISO currency codes
If you have selected the Prices option, then you can select "ISO currency codes" to dis-
play currency amounts with the International Standards Organization currency symbol
