This is odd, my Jaws 5 is reading those numbers as they should be read.

The best thing I can recommend is to add some entries in the dictionary
manager for the numbers you want to hear. For example, if you are
reading the word 20's a lot and you want to have your speech system say
twenties, you could correct the pronunciation in the dictionary manager.
To do this, do the following: 1. Press insert+d to bring up the
dictionary manager. 2. Press alt+a to add an entry. 3. In the actual
word text box, type "20's" without quotations. Tab once to go to the
replacement word text box. Type in twenties and tab to the ok button.
4. Press the enter key. Repeat this procedure for all the other
numbers whose pronunciation you want to correct. Does anyone else have
any other recommendations? Thanks.
Eric

How does one get JAWS to say numbers that have an apostrophe s the
correct way? If I write 20's I want the computer to say twenties. This
is especially annoying when reading weather reports and they say in the
20's or 50's. Can this be corrected?
