A few common fractions can also be displayed on your computer as
special characters (such as ¼, ½, or ¾) instead of two numbers separated
by a slash character (such as 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4). For information about
dictating fraction characters, see “Dictating uncommon special
characters” on page 76.
Roman numerals
Dictate Roman numerals by saying
“Roman”
and the number. For large
numbers, say the number in small combinations (as in the examples
shown here).
Don’t pause after the word “Roman” when you’re dictating a Roman numeral. If
you pause, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
may enter, for example, “Roman three” instead
of “III.”
