C H A P T E R 6 Numbers and Punctuation
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 66
Telephone numbers outside North America
To dictate other phone numbers, including European phone numbers,
you must say all the punctuation, including the hyphens, spaces, and
parentheses.
In dialects other than US/Canada, you can say “bracket” instead of
“parenthesis.”
Fractions
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.
If the denominator (bottom number in the fraction) is greater than 10,
you can enter the fraction by saying “slash” or “over” between the two
numbers.
