title: Telephone numbers and screen readers
body: <p>Is there a standard way to make screen readers spell out numbers?</p>
  
  <p>I am currently using NVDA and Firefox and have the following telephone number</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;p&gt;01234 567890&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is read as</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Zero one two three four five hundred and sixty seven thousand eight hundred and ninety</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This is quite confusing to the listener. I would like some way of specifying that the screen reader should spell out the number like</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Zero one two three four five six seven eight nine zero</p>
  </blockquote>
