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.
Changing the format of a number
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters a number in a format you don’t want, you can
use voice commands to convert it to a numeral or to spell it out.
For example, you can change “seven dollars” to “$7”
(US/Canada) or “seven
pounds” to “£7” (Other Dialects) by saying “Format That Number.”
And you can change “$7” to “seven dollars”
(US/Canada) or “£7” to “seven pounds”
(Other Dialects) by saying “Format That Spelled Out.”
