Does Nuance not have a dictionary as does Jaws. If it had, you could instruct
it that when it saw GB etc, it was to read the letters, and not try to gainsay
it into words.

Subject: I wish VoiceOver didn't try to pronounce what it thinks abbriviations
mean, but it can be humorous.
Hi.
I was in the NFL Mobile app on my iPhone 5C running the latest iOs. I wanted
to hear the game between Arizona and Green Bay. I got there, and was selecting
the feed I wanted. The app gives you updates about who has the ball, and where
it is on the field. They use abbreviations for the teams. GB was used for
Green Bay. I was navigating through the info on the screen, and was surprised
to hear the ball was on the gigabytes 25. I know whoever is programming
VoiceOver to give information means well, but I wish they’d just let
abbreviations say their letters. VoiceOver isn’t the only one who does this.
I never knew, for example about Hartford, Court, or my Physician was Drive
Johnson. Oh well, it is humorous in a way, but there is sometimes too much of
a good thing.
Just thought I’d share this observation.
Have a good day, and don’t work too hard.
