Try setting your punctuation to be controlled by Jaws and your number
processing to single digits.

Hi again Roger,
Sorry, I meant to say that punctuation must be set to None.

>>> For example, the phone number 848-6275 was read as 8 4 8 6 2 7 5, but
>>> now it is read as 8 hundred 48 62 75. The phone number 650-2839 was read
>>> as 6 5 o 2 8 3 9, but now it is read as 6 hundred 50 28 39. Furthermore,

>>> now it is read as 1 800 9 hundred 41 73 26.
