Numbers pronounciation

Hello!

I have entered " *1/8 IN DRY SNOW" into my ATIS string, hoping that it would be pronounced as "ONE EIGHTH INCH DRY SNOW", but instead it is being pronounced as " ZERO ONE ZERO EIGHT INCH DRY SNOW".

I manually entered a custom contraction as "1/8" to be pronounced as "ONE EIGHTH", but that is not the result that I am getting.

Any ideas on how to correct this?


Thank you!

I've noticed some strange pronunciation of numbers as well:

  • 5 5 5 (for surface condition) is pronounced "zero five zero five zero five". 555, however, is "five five five". It seems this goes for all single digits that it attaches a zero before the number.
  • CAT 2 OR CAT 3 is read out as "cat zero two or cat three" whereas "CAT2 OR CAT 3" is pronounced as "C A T T W O or cat three". It seems that "CAT 3" is a phrase that it understands to pronounce correctly but CAT 2 isn't. I tried adding CAT2 = CAT TWO as a contraption, but I couldn't get it to work. It still says C A T T W O all as individual letters in this case.

Would be great if these little quirks could be fixed!
