Shawn, When it comes to numbers, why not use the Window-Eyes default setting of on. Here is what section 6.5 of the Window-Eyes manual says about the matter.
"When numbers is set to On, Window-Eyes pronounces numerical names, for example one-million-seven-hundred-fifty-thousand-one-hundred-seventeen. When numbers is set to On, and Window-Eyes encounters a number containing at least one hyphen character, it voices the number in digits. This is for ease in reading telephone and social security numbers, for example. When numbers is set to On, four-digit numbers that do not contain a comma are pronounced in pairs of two-digit numerical names. The purpose of this feature is for ease and convenience in reading year numbers and street addresses, etc., which are popularly pronounced in the United States as two pairs of numerical names. For example 1995 is pronounced as nineteen ninety-five and 7433 is pronounced as seventy-four thirty-three. Four-digit numbers containing a comma are read with numerical names unsplit. For example 7,433 would be pronounced as seven-thousand-four-hundred-thirty-three. When numbers is set to On, money values noted with dollar sign and decimal point are read in terms of dollars and cents, euro sign and decimal point are read in terms of euros and cents or pound and decimal point as pounds and pence."
