Hey Jeff, maybe you could improve the TTS that is currently in the OpenAI web and phone apps. When I set it to read numbers in Romanian it slurs digits. This also happens sometimes with regular words as well. I hope you find resources for other languages than English.

thanks for flagging ... number fidelity (especially on languages that are unfortunately less represented in training data) is still something we're working to improve
Actually even the new model does it. I put it read "12345 54321" and it read "2346 5321". So it both skips and hallucinates digits. This could be dangerous if it is used to read some news article or important text with numbers.
