I could not get negative numbers to not speak the negative value either. So
1. Either something in a specific type of sheet formatting.
2. Different versions of numbers.
or
3. AN obscure setting in VoiceOVer that some of us are not finding.
I think the easiest thing to do is verify your numbers
In the list of activities there is a Additional settings to include click on
this and down 5 items is "Voices"

Just caught your pun. Yes, I need to find a grumpy, cantankerous voice.

In this case, read numbers as words or digits makes no difference.

Well, I’m Not Tim, but I’l answer anyway.
In the currency category of number tab of format cells, I have -$ format
selected.
With read numbers as words, vo reads the negative sign when I use the vo
movement commands.
It’s also worth pointing out that if you prefer the parentheses format, and
Tim,
Did I ever mention to you that I use the minus$ method of negative number
marking, since the parentheses do not work unless I set punctuation to “all”?
What is your negative indicator set to?

Sometimes such things are voice dependent quirks. Use the voice roter to pick
a temp voice or two.
Otherwise, try a more positive attitude.

Hi,
I've messed with some VO Settings and cannot seem to get it to stop saying
negative when a negative number is present. changing between word/Digits,
changing how cursors follows each other, verbosity level, and arrow vs VO
navigation all did not seem to change what was announced. I seem
I’ve used the “all” settings for punctuations, and the parentheses are read
only with voices other than Alex or Fred. But my preference is having the minus
sign precede the $ sigh, so I don’t need to have all punctuation. Having all
punctuation in other apps drives me insane. I’ll see if
Absolutely okay. Any time is always better than “never."

Hi,
I am using Voiceover with Excel and vo reads negative numbers.
In the text tab of verbosity settings in vo utility, do you have numbers read
as words?
Also, how are you moving between cells? There are three ways: arrows, tab,
and the vo movement commands. How you do this may affect how

I'm just in the middle of helping my daughter review some parts of her

I am also wondering where is that mysterious setting that is haunting me. So
far, in all my wanderings through VO and Accessibility settings, I have not
found the holy grail.

Hot D**n! That did it! I hate Tom, so I’m looking for a voice I can stand for
long periods. But you did hit the nail on the head. Thanks so much for your
suggestion. Now I’m going to send a follow-up to Apple Accessibility with this,
to add to one more reason Alex is not a reliable kind of guy.
Petrus,
You know, you have a way of hitting nails on the head. I didn’t even think of
that, even knowing what Alex does with the Roman numerals. Off to give that a
try.

Any takers out there? I still haven’t figured out a way to have VO specifically
verbalize parenthesis or minus signs in Excel. And this also appears to be a
problem using theNumbers app.
