Maybe use a different synthesizer other than eloquence? For the record, the number in the message previous to this one was read as seventeen point four percent if that means anything.
But as Bruce says, unfortunately JAWS isn't always going to do things the way everybody wants them. FS has to go by standard windows conventions.

As with the competition, numbers are read the way you don't like them. Part of the problem is you're asking JAWS to violate Windows conventions, and FS isn't going to turn that on by default.

Hi,
Using JAWS 7, in which Word version can one
use insert + right/ left arrows to read numbers correctly
with that single keystroke as in 17.4% without having
to do numerous keystrokes?
With 6 one had to enter the command into the Keyboard manager to
read numbers with decimals in them efficiently in Word.
HenceI ask which Word version does number reading happen with 1 insert right/ leftarrow?
This is important if onew orks with numbers.Thanks. --
