CHAPTER 4 Dictating Names, Numbers & Punctuation Other Dialects: 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 point (.) if you say "a m," "p m," or "o'clock" when dictating the time. Otherwise, say "point zero zero" to enter .00.
