User Guide

NOTE: If you are having problems dictating numbers, currency, times, or dates, make sure that your Regional Settings match the language (dialect) you selected when you created your user.

Using Numbers mode

Any time you need to dictate a series of numbers and do not want Dragon to recognize them as words, you can turn on Numbers Mode. This could be useful, for example, if you are dictating in a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft® Excel®.

To turn on Numbers Mode, say “Start Numbers Mode” or “Numbers Mode On.” To turn off Numbers Mode, say, “Stop Numbers Mode” or “Numbers Mode Off” or “Switch to Normal Mode.”

For more information on Numbers Mode and more ways to turn Numbers Mode on and off, see the section Switching recognition modes on page 119.

Dates

You can dictate most dates the way you would normally say them. Say “oh” or “zero” to enter 0. In dialects other than US/ Canada, you can also say “nought.”
