CHAPTER 4 Dictating Names, Numbers & Punctuation Dates Times of day NOTE With Numbers Mode on, Dragon NaturallySpeaking tries to interpret everything as a number. If you dictate words, the results will be unpredictable. However, you can still navigate menus and switch between programs by voice when Numbers Mode is on. You can dictate most dates the way you would normally say them. Say "oh" or "zero" to enter 0. In dialects outside US/Canada, you can also say "nought."

When the Correction dialog box opens, the format you want may be on the list of alternatives. US/Canada: Usually, you can dictate the time of day the way you would normally say it. Say "o'clock" to enter :00. Dragon NaturallySpeaking automatically types the colon (:) if you say "a m," "p m," or "o'clock" when dictating the time. Otherwise, say "colon zero zero" to enter :00.
