Numbered Lists

 

To dictate numbered lists, use the command ‘number one’ then ‘number two’ etc for subsequent items.

 

For example, saying:

 

“diagnoses number one hypertension number two glaucoma number three diabetes new paragraph thankyou for referring this 47 year old gentleman”

 

Will be displayed as:

 

Diagnoses:

  1. Hypertension
  2. Glaucoma
  3. Diabetes

 

Thank you for referring this 47 year old gentleman

 

You can also instead dictate subsequent items using the command ‘next number’ e.g.

 

“diagnoses number one hypertension next number glaucoma next number diabetes“

 

For MS Word users

 

If you have auto-numbering turned on you should use slightly different voice commands:

 

“diagnoses number one hypertension new line glaucoma new line diabetes new paragraph thank you for referring this 47 year old gentleman”

 

Goes to:

 

Diagnoses

1.   Hypertension

2.   Glaucoma

3.   Diabetes

 

Thank you for referring this 47 year old gentleman
