Dictate other currencies by first saying the currency symbol followed by the digits. US/Canada: If your Regional Settings are set to the United States or Canada, your default currency is $ (dollar). If you want to dictate a dollar currency amount, dictate it the way you normally do. If you want to dictate a pound sterling currency amount, say, for example, "pound sterling sign fifty eight" (to enter £ 58), and so on. TIP In US/Canada, you must say "pound sterling sign" to enter £, since "pound sign" means # in the U.S. vocabulary. In all other dialects, you can say "pound sign" to type £. 82 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
