Telephone numbers
You can say U.S. phone numbers naturally (by pausing briefly between
each group of numbers). You don’t need to dictate hyphens between
groups of numbers.
To dictate other phone numbers, including European phone numbers, you must
say all the punctuation, including the hyphens. This also applies to eight-digit numbers
starting with 0 or 1 (for example, 1-965-5200).
Currency and coin
You can dictate U.S. currency as you would normally say it.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking uses the currency symbol ($, £, and so on)
specified in your Windows settings. (See Regional Settings in the Windows Control
Panel.)
