Did you know you can choose how the system will format cardinal numbers?
PowerScribe 360 | Reporting includes a formatting setting that allows for a variety of choices on how cardinal numbers will be written in a report. Some radiologists prefer that all cardinal numbers be spelled out, while others only want cardinal numbers one and two to be spelled out.
For example: A radiologist dictates, "impression colon three views of the foot period", which results into “Impression: 3 views of the foot.” For some, this is accurate and represents the desired result; However, others desire a different result such as, "Impression: Three views of the foot."
The result is dependent upon a formatting setting which determines how cardinal numbers, in this case the number 3, will be written in the report, which results into either "3" or "three".
Perform the following to choose how cardinal numbers will be formatted in your reports:
- Log in to the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting dictation client.
- On the Menu bar, click Speech > Formatting.
- Near the bottom of the General tab, check the box Numbers, if greater than or equal to.
- Use the drop-down to choose how ordinals will be formatted by referring to the following options:
- Choose 0 if you would like all cardinal numbers to be written as digits (i.e. 1, 2 , 3)
- Choose 2 if you would like cardinal numbers “one” and “two” to be spelled out and the rest to be written as digits.
- Choose 10 if you would like cardinal numbers “one” through “nine” to be spelled out and the rest to be written as digits.
- Choose 100 if you would like cardinal numbers “one” through “one hundred” to be spelled out.
 IMPORTANT: If you choose to have cardinal numbers spelled out and would like a single digit number to appear in the report as a digit, you can perform one of the following to ensure the number appears as desired:
- Dictate the voice command "numeral" before the number. I.e. Dictate "numeral 2".
- Dictate the number with a decimal point. I.e. Dictate "2.0" as opposed to "2".
 TIP: To improve recognition accuracy of numbers in measurements, always dictate the number with a decimal point. I.e. Dictate "2 point 0 by 3 point 4 mm" (Result: "2.0 x 3.4 mm") as opposed to "2 by 3 point 4 mm" (possible result: " two by 3.4 mm" or "to by 3.4 mm")
