Dear nvda users,
Can someone give me some instructions how I can set nvda to read telephone numbers in terms of digits without effection other applications? Currently my nvda is reading telephone numbers in terms of hundreds and thousands.
Your help is sincerely appreciated. |

Hi. The add-on you'll want to use is digits reader. It can be found at: the main page is at: https://github.com/ABuffEr/numberProcessing I'm surprised this one isn't listed on nvda-addons.org. Cheers, Mo.

Would this also be synth dependent as well? Mine does not read phone numbers in the thousands unless I type 1234567890 in the US anyway. I’m fine with this as for me it still fits the cadence of phone numbers to a point, so I know I have the right number of digits in there.

Since this varies somewhat by locale, it's important to know the formats you would want read as chunks of individual digits, and that would include punctuation. As two examples for the USA: (540) 571-6820 or 540-571-6820 would be typical phone number formats. The add-on mentioned does not seem to be specific enough in attending to formatting cues. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ~ Dorothy Nevill |

I see so many formats of telephone numbers in documents these days, it can be most wearing to figure them out. Some also complicate them by adding +44 and losing the leading 0, and to cater for all the various hyphens and colons that folk use, it seems a real pain.
