Currency and coin
You can dictate your own currency as you would normally say it.
Currency in US/Canada (US English dialect)
Currency in Other Dialects (UK, Australian, Indian, and Southeast Asian English)
Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses the currency symbol ($, £, and so on) specified in your
Windows Regional Settings as your default currency.
Dictate other currencies by first saying the currency symbol followed by the digits.
US/Canada:
If your Regional Settings are set to the United States or Canada, your
default currency is $ (dollar). If you want to dictate a dollar currency amount, dictate
it the way you normally do. If you want to dictate a pound sterling currency amount,
say, for example, “pound sterling sign fifty eight” (to enter £ 58), and so on.
In US/Canada, you must say “pound sterling sign” to enter £, since “pound sign” means # in the
U.S. vocabulary. In all other dialects, you can say “pound sign” to type £.
Other Dialects:
If your Regional Settings are set to the United Kingdom, your
default currency is £ (pound sterling). If you want to dictate a pound sterling
