Don’t pause when you’re dictating Roman numerals. If you pause, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking may enter “Roman three” instead of “III” (for example).
Creating dictation shorthands
A dictation shorthand is a quick way to insert frequently used text into
your document. You can create dictation shorthands for text that you use
often or text that’s complicated to dictate.
For example, you could create a shorthand that types “Michael D.
Bowman” whenever you say “my signature.” (In this example, the written
form for the dictation shorthand is “Michael D. Bowman,” and the
spoken form is “my signature.”)
