developers, what do you thing about this one? I offer closing becouse nvda for now does not preprocess numbers (just leading zeros) and all other stuff can be done through dictionaries.

As noted above, this can currently be done with speech dictionaries. We won't implement this, at least for now.

I re-open the ticket because this feature is quite popular in Italy.
This feature is very useful for people that must read phone number at work.
The best will be to have a radio button or a combobox that say:
read number as: single digit, 2, 3, normal.
For example, the number 123456789:
we could decide if read as:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
12, 34, 56, 78, 9.
123, 456, 789.
Is it difficult to do?


I think this is very experimental feature because it will even make reading times and dates digit by digit. More over this is already possible with speech dictionaries.
Here is an example entry:
Pattern: "(\d)(\d)"
Replacement: "\1 \2 "
regular expression: yes.
Pattern and replacement should be typed without the quotes. This can be used in the voice or temporary dictionary.
