Okay, here is an extra and keep in mind that this is an extra and I am not actually requesting that anyone do this. When I am reading a book with a synthetic voice I notice that there are occasional numbers sprinkled throughout the text. There may be only a few in the case of a novel when a character asks the price of an item for sale or mentions how many miles it is to the next town or there may be a lot in the case of a cookbook or most especially in the case of a math textbook. In all cases, though, it is not necessarily always clear when a page number is being read. To make this clear the validator who wants to do something extra could add the word page before each page number and then a phrase at the end of a page like, "how many miles is it to the next town?" page 82 "About four," he answered, can be clear.
