Fractions
You can dictate most fractions the way you would normally say them. To
dictate 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, and 1/16, or a multiple of
these fractions, just say the fraction normally.
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking types the fraction as a word (for example,
“one-third”), you can correct it (as described in “Correcting recognition
mistakes” on page 13).
If the denominator is greater than 10, you can enter the fraction by
saying “slash” or “over” between the two numbers.
For information about dictating fraction characters (¼, ½, ¾), see
“Dictating uncommon special characters” on page 57.
Roman numerals
You can dictate Roman numerals by saying “Roman” and the number.
For large numbers, say the number in small combinations (as in the last
three examples).
