You have to press numpad twice actually.

Why not use the NVDA command "spell the word" Numpad 5 on desktop which

I guess we've all done the headphone/telephone shuffle, trying to keep
the headphones over one ear and the telephone over the other ear. Don't
need the added complication of the screen-reader gabbling one million
two hundred and thirty four thousand six hundred and seventy eight.
Only took me about six attempts to get that right :-/

Hello all,
I have just sent a request to the developers to incorporate the
choice between reading out a sring of digits as a whole number and
reading it digit by digit. And also to suggest that a sting of digits
with letters interspersed should be spoken one digit at a time, for
example:
Our ref: G12345678H/235/K would be easier to remember if read as:
G 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 H/2 3 5/K
And it's important not to have to convert whole numbers to a series
of digits in your head when you need to quote that reference back
over the phone to a service provider.
Best,
Clive

I'd actually go further than this...
NVDA is Open Source. It is possible not only to change it, but to
feed changes back to the developers, and to have some influence on
what it does.
I know that 'you get what you pay for' is a common maxim but it
breaks down when talking about software, and no doubt other things as
well. It would be better if it ran something like this 'you get what
they think they can give you (the bare minimum) for the maximum
price, and you have to keep paying or they cut you off'.
There is a mass of free (as in as a bird) and Open Source software
out there and you might not realise that you use a lot of it every
time you browse a web site and make a purchase.
NVDA is more than just a thing which is 'a bit better than narrator'.
Even if I could afford it there is no way I would buy Jaws or any
Dolphin product and be held to ransom and forced to pay more than my
computer cost just so I could use it.
There is more than one way to swing a cat applies very much to software.
If package ABC does not work with NVDA then chances are there is an
XYZ package that does the same thing just as well which DOES work
with NVDA.
Sure there are things about NVDA which are either quirky or just
downright annoying, but a thousand pound price tag isn't one of them.
So numbers get read out as words...which is annoying when it's a
phone number, so in my files which contain phone numbers I put a
space between each number. Just saved myself a thousand quid there.

I know, but the big boys can handle it, JFW and Window-Eyes and even
Supernova has number control. It should be a basic function of any
screen reader. I'm surprised NVDA doesn't do it at core level, since
it was written by two blind guys and you'd think numbers as words all
the time would drive them up the wall, especially when programming.
