CHAPTER 4 Dictating Names, Numbers & Punctuation Fractions Other Dialects: If your Regional Settings are set to the United Kingdom, your default currency is £ (pound sterling). If you want to dictate a pound sterling currency amount, dictate it the way you normally do. If you want to dictate a dollar currency amount, say, for example, "dollar sign fifty eight" (to enter $58) and so on. NOTE Australian users can say "fifty eight dollars" to dictate $58, since the Australian default currency is $ in Windows Regional Settings. You can dictate most common fractions the way you would normally say them. To dictate 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, and 1/16 or a multiple of these fractions, just say the fraction normally. TO EN TE R 1/2 1/4 15/16 3 7/8 SAY one half one fourth or one quarter fifteen sixteenths or fifteen over sixteen three and seven eighths or three and seven over eight If Dragon NaturallySpeaking types the fraction as a word (for example, "one-third"), you can correct it as described in "Correcting recognition mistakes" on page 15. If the denominator is greater than 10, you can enter the fraction by saying "slash" or "over" between the two numbers. TO EN TE R 9/12 5 3/56 130/70 SAY nine [slash] twelve or nine over twelve five [space bar] three [slash] fifty six one thirty over seventy For information about dictating fraction characters see "Dictating uncommon special characters" on page 74.
