Dictating Numbers, Punctuation, and Special Characters

Times of day

Dictate the time of day the way you would normally say it.

US/Canada: Dragon automatically types the colon (:) if you say “a m” or “p m” when dictating the time. Say “o’clock” or “colon zero zero” to enter 00.

TO E NTER	SA Y
8:30	eight [colon] thirty or eight [numeric
	colon] thirty
7:45 AM	seven forty five a m
10:22 PM	ten twenty two p m
3:00	three o’clock or three [colon] zero zero
5:00 PM	five o’clock p m

TIP: Dragon will recognize times more accurately if you say “numeric colon” instead of “colon” when dictating times.

Other Dialects: Dragon automatically types the point (.) if you say “a m” or “p m” when dictating the time, depending on the regional setting. Say “o’clock” or “point zero zero” to enter .00.

TO E NTER		SAY
8.30		eight [point] thirty
7.45	AM	seven forty five a m
10.22 PM		ten twenty two p m
3.00		three o’clock
5.00	PM	five o’clock p m

NOTE: The format of “a.m.” and “p.m.” depends on your computer’s regional Windows® settings.
