8 Dictating Names, Numbers, Punctuation & Special Characters These commands change the last number dictated or a selected number. SAY Format That Number Format That Spelled Out TO C H AN G E one to 1 first to 1st nineteenth to 19th 5 million to 5,000,000 five million to 5,000,000 eight dollars to $8 (US/Canada) seven pounds to £7 (Other Dialects) 4th to fourth 27 to twenty-seven 5,000,000 to five million NOTE The "Format That Number" and "Format That Spelled Out" commands work for numerals and currency, but not for dates, times of day, telephone numbers, and most fractions. Using Numbers Mode Any time you need to dictate a series of numbers and do not want Dragon NaturallySpeaking to recognize them as words, you can turn on Numbers Mode. This could be useful, for example, if you are dictating in a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft® Excel®. To turn on Numbers Mode, say "Start Numbers Mode" or "Numbers Mode On." To turn off Numbers Mode, say, "Stop Numbers Mode" or "Numbers Mode Off" or "Switch to Normal Mode." For more information on Numbers Mode and more ways to turn Numbers Mode on and off, see the section "Switching Recognition Modes" on page 101. Dates You can dictate most dates the way you would normally say them. Say "oh" or "zero" to enter 0. In dialects other than US/Canada, you can also say "nought."
