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
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."
