Dictating numbers

In most cases you can dictate numbers, including postal codes, as you normally say them. Dragon will display either a numeral (“3”) or the word (“three”), based on the context. To force recognition of digits as numerals instead of text without using the Numbers Mode, say “Numeral” before you say the digit, for example, say “Numeral Three” to get 3. When dictating numbers:

nYou can use or omit the word and as part of a number. For example, say “one hundred fifty” instead of “one hundred and fifty” to get the number 150.

nYou can use “oh” and “zero” interchangeably to get 0.

nIf you want a comma in a four-digit number, you must speak it explicitly. Numbers with five or more digits automatically include commas, with the exception of US ZIP codes.

nFor a decimal point, say “point.”
