Sony ICD-BP150VTP Manual

his chapter describes how to dictate numbers, punctuation, Web addresses, and 
a few other special items.

the formatting properties of the word by using the Word Properties dialog box. See “Changing word 
properties” on page 126.

Dictating numbers

In most cases you can dictate numbers, including postal codes, as you normally say 
them. Dragon NaturallySpeaking will display either a number (“3”) or the word 
(“three”), based on the context. To force recognition of digits as numerals instead of 
text without using the Numbers Mode, say "Numeral" before you say the digit, for 
example, say "Numeral Three" to get 3. When dictating numbers:

■

You can use or omit the word "and" as part of a number. For example, say "one 
hundred fifty" instead of "one hundred and fifty" to get the number 150. 

■

You can use "oh" and "zero" interchangeably to get 0. 

■

If you want a comma in a four-digit number, you must speak it explicitly. 
Numbers with five or more digits automatically include commas, with the 
exception of US ZIP codes. 

■

For a decimal point, say “point.”
