Auto-formatting times
Turns on automatic formatting of standard time formats. For example, if you say "Six
Thirty PM", Dragon will transcribe "6:30 PM". Dictating standard time runs on a 12 hour
clock, letting you make the distinction between AM and PM.
Military time: With the Time option enabled, you can also dictate times in military format.
For example, if you say "sixteen hundred hours", Dragon transcribes "1600 hrs". If you
say "oh three oh five hours" or "zero three zero five hours", Dragon transcribes "0305
hrs".
Dictating Military time uses a 24-hour clock and abbreviates "hours" to "hrs".
Auto-formatting UK and Canadian postcodes
Turns on proper formatting of UK postcodes and Canadian postal codes. For example,
with the option on, format a London postcode by saying "W Two Four R J" to enter W2
4RJ, and format a Toronto postal code by saying "M Five H Two L Two" to enter M5H
2L2.
Auto-formatting other numbers
Enables the formatting of all numbers not covered by other options on this dialog box,
such as negative numbers, numbers with punctuation, fractions, decimals, and Roman
numerals.
Note:Dragon applies Auto-formatting for mixed numbers and also for fractions where
the denominator is 5 or greater, but not for simple fractions like "one half," "two thirds,"
and "three quarters."
For more information, see Dictating numbers.
