WEIRD Number Bug & Feature Request
Sorry if this has been raised already, I couldn't find anything about it.
In an attempt to get numbers working the way a writer would want them, I checked the "Convert Numbers" slider and some weird stuff started happening.
After a bit of testing, I can confirm that at least in my setup, any series of numbers that includes a number that's ten or greater will ADD the numbers together!
So "NINE NINE NINE" returns "9 9 9" as expected (though I wouldn't expect or want the spaces, I can't imagine who would).
But "TEN NINE NINE" bizarrely returns "28" (summed, no spaces).
My related request is that the numbers behave as they should for "proper" writing. Most non-casual writing—at least in the US—follows AP Style:
[1 ... 9] = [one ... nine]
[10 ......] = ten, eleven etc.
with no inserted spaces between numbers spoken in fairly quick sequence.
That would be 100% ideal, at least for me. 😊
Thanks again for a killer app. Apple should give you a million bucks and replace their rubbish with Paraspeech!
PS - EVERY comment I make here strips out all the returns and I have to go back and put them in again so the post isn't a solid block of wall-to-wall text. 🤷

Hey, I'm reworking the number conversion logic for the next version.
