CHAPTER 6 Numbers and Punctuation Modes When you start working in Dragon NaturallySpeaking®, you are in normal mode by default. You can dictate words, numbers, and commands, and the program will recognize them. Suppose, though, that you want to work in a spreadsheet, dictating only numbers. In this case, you can turn on numbers mode. With numbers mode on, Dragon NaturallySpeaking® tries to recognize everything it hears as a number. If you are dictating only numbers (including currencies), working in this mode will increase recognition accuracy. There are four special modes, in addition to normal mode: s Numbers mode-The software recognizes only numbers, commands, and punctuation. s Spell mode-The software recognizes only letters, numbers, commands, and punctuation. s Command mode-The software recognizes only commands. s Dictation mode-The software recognizes only words in its dictation vocabulary, plus a few commands such as "New Line" and "New Paragraph." To switch modes, from the Words menu on the DragonBar, click the name of the mode you want. Or, to switch modes by voice, say one of these commands: s "Switch to Numbers Mode" s "Switch to Spell Mode" s "Switch to Command Mode" s "Switch to Dictation Mode" s "Switch to Normal Mode" You can turn modes on and off by voice. When you turn a mode off, this is the same as switching back to normal mode. NOTE You cannot dictate fractions in number mode. 80 Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
