Entering numerals in 'Dictation'

Is there any keyboard shortcut for entering numerals in Dictation?

As opposed to saying "numeral" before speaking the number?

Thanks.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for dictation in Numbers? Hello friends, I've been trying to use the dictation feature in Numbers to dictate text into a cell. However, to do this one must use the Edit -> Start Dictation every time. This is a very laborious and very time consuming. I've tried FnFn but it doesn't work. In fact even Edit-> Start Dictation doesn't work once you try FnFn which leads to nowhere! Most times you get that sigle chime that indicates some kind of error and can no longer dictate anything! I close the Spread sheet, re-create it, still Edit-> Start dictation not working. Strange! Anyhow, is there a way of association FnFn with the dictation feature in Numbers? Thank you for your feedback.

I imagine just typing them in where desired works.

Yes. I just learned that. Dictation makes a good guess at the context.

Thanks.
