Dictating Names, Numbers, Punctuation & Special Characters

Times of day
Dictate the time of day the way you would normally say it.
US/Canada: Dragon NaturallySpeaking automatically types the colon (:) if you say
“a m” or “p m” when dictating the time. Say “o’clock” or “colon zero zero” to enter:00.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking will recognize times more accurately if you say “numeric colon”
instead of “colon” when dictating times.
Other Dialects: Dragon NaturallySpeaking automatically types the point (.) if you
say “a m” or “p m” when dictating the time, depending on the regional setting. Say
“o’clock” or “point zero zero” to enter .00.
The format of “a.m.” and “p.m.” depends on your computer’s regional Windows
®
settings.

North American phone numbers
Say US and Canadian phone numbers as you normally would, pausing briefly
between each group of numbers.
