Dictating Names, Numbers, Punctuation & Special Characters

Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide

You don’t need to dictate hyphens for most phone numbers (numbers that are 7, 10,
or 11 digits long). Dragon NaturallySpeaking will add them automatically.

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.
