3This guide applies to the all English dialects that ship with
Dragon:
nUS English
nUK English
nAustralian English
nIndian English
nSoutheast Asian English
US English uses US spelling, punctuation, and time and
currency formats. We recommend US English for Canadian
users since this dialect formats numbers (including times,
telephone numbers, and currency) in North American
formats.
All other dialects use UK spelling, punctuation, and time and
currency formats (some number settings depend on your
Windows Regional Settings). Where multiple dialects are
used in dictation examples, those dialects appear in a different
font style. For example:
You can also correct a longer phrase by saying “C orrec t
[text ] Through [ text]” (US/Canada) or “Corre ct [text ] To
[text ]” (Other Dialects).
