Convert Numbers to text needs more nuance training

As an example, if I say "3:20pm" I'll get "three twenty pm". Sometimes I want numbers as text and sometimes I don't and this is a great example of when it's not wanted. There are other things like phone numbers too. And, even when using this for regular numbers, it's not good practice to write numbers as text all the time (or vice versa). I appreciate that this is probably tricky but there are a number of style guides that indicate when it's best to have numbers displayed as text and when it's best to present them as numerals. Predictably, these all differ on some of the points but choosing one and using it for training would be great. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsstyleguide/numbers is one that shows some of the nuance that might be required for this although there are many others out there.

Yeah, I'm seeing issues with numbers too. It breaks my flow considerably now when I try to say numbers. I've also had it try and multiply and add numbers too.

So I'm still seeing this as a unpredictable issue in version 1.5.3 (167) So for example I say "15 dot 7 dot 3" I get Fifteen dot seven dot three I'f I say "15 point 7 point 3" I get Fifteen point seven point three then I say "15 7 3" I get If I say 15, seven, three. "but then If I say 40 million to 50 million" I get 40000000 to 50000000 "12 x 7 x 3" I get 12 times seven times three.

0, I just let another one occur as well If I say "twenty million" I get 1002000
