Hi Richard, Thank you very much for verifying that. I had 2 hours to kill while we were on the road this morning and couldn't find a setting to read the month as a word anywhere, so I thought I would ask to make sure I hadn't overlooked something.
As for the Voiceover pronunciation section, I think I'll try putting in the month with both 1 and 2 digits and a slash to narrow down the options a little bit to see how it works. Thanks much. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

If the date is written, 06/25/2019 it will read it as numbers. If you wanted 06/ to always read as June, you could try creating a pronunciation entry in the Pronunciation section of the VoiceOver Speech settings. I'm not sure if slashes are allowed, but it might be worth a try. if it works, you could do an entry for all twelve months. Just remember that if someone writes just 6/25/2019 it won't help. And I'm sure you don't want every number 6 spoken as June. Then you have those who use dashes when they write dates ...
