In the Status window, the third indicator light will glow yellow and will read “123”. Say the

To force the next word to be interpreted as a Roman numeral (“I”, “II”, etc.):
— Say Roman Numeral.
In the Status window, the third indicator light will glow yellow and will read “XIV”. Say the
number. The number will be typed, and the indicator light will go out automatically. This
works even for large Roman numerals; for example, to type MCMXCVII, say Roman
Numeral One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Seven (in one smooth utterance).
Dragon Dictate performs a lot of automatic intelligent formatting of numbers and dates.
Here are some details. You can also click on Auto Formatting under the Tools menu to
bring up options for formatting addresses, dates, times, numbers, and other utterances,
including common abbreviations and contractions.
When you say a number, Dragon Dictate will either type out the words or the number,
depending on the context in which the number was used. If you want to force the
program to type a number instead of typing the words for the number, say Numeral
before saying the number.
Here are some examples of Dragon Dictate’s automatic formatting and punctuation of
numeric expressions.
Numbers (numerals) may be spoken using digits or full number names. Insert
punctuation as needed.
