■ Numbers
Up to 16 digits are read out.
Example: 1234
→
“ Sen nihyaku sanju yon”
■ Amount of money
If a currency symbol (e.g. “ ￥ ” (single-byte/double-
byte)) is placed at the beginning of a number, up to 16
digits are read out as amount of money.
If commas ( , ) are used as a separation symbol, the
string is recognized as amount of money only if the
commas are placed between every 3 digits.
■ Phone number
If numbers are separated by hyphens - or
parentheses ( ) and recognized as landline phone
number, mobile phone number or toll-free number,
the numbers are read out as phone numbers but not
as sequences of digits. “Tel:”-prefixed numbers are
also read out as phone numbers.
Example: Tel: 0120-XXX-XXX
→ “Teru zeroichinizero
XXX XXX”
■ Time
Numbers separated by “:” are read out as time.
*
If the
hour component is a 1- or 2-digit number and the
minute component is a 2-digit number, the number is
read out as time. If “AM” or “PM” (uppercase) is
added before or after the number, “Gozen” or “Gogo”
is read out before the number.
*: Time entered in the format of “Hour”:“Minute”:“Second”
(e.g. 23:15:10) is not read out.
■
Date
Numbers separated by “/” or “.” in the date pattern are
read out as date. If “M”, “T”, “S” or “H” (uppercase) is
inserted before date, the corresponding Japanese era
name (Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei) is read out.
z
The above formats for numbers, amount of money,
phone numbers, time and date also support
double-byte characters.
z
When amount of money, phone number, time or
date is read out and the string read out is
immediately preceded or followed by any of the
characters listed below, the number will not be read
out correctly. To have the FOMA terminal read out
amount of money, phone number, time or date
correctly, it is recommended that you place a
space, etc. as a separation character before and
after the string. “0 to 9”, “A to Z” (uppercase), “:”,
“
￥ ”, “/”, “.”, “-” (single-byte/double-byte)
■ Others
z
Alphabets are read out in alphabetic reading, but
may not be read out in alphabetic reading
depending on the combination.
z
Depending on the content of a sentence or
description (especially geographic names or proper
nouns), it may not be read out or may be read out
incorrectly.
z
The voice used to read out is different from natural
voice. The pronunciation or accent may be difficult
to understand in some cases.
z
Sentences are separated to read out when there
are punctuation marks (“
、 ”, “ 。 ”, .), line feeds and
spaces, except when “.” or “,” is preceded and/or
followed by numbers. When there is no separation
in the text, the sentences are separated
automatically. Depending on the sentence, it may
take time to start reading out. It may not be read
out correctly when there are kanji characters. To
read out the content of the mail correctly, it is
recommended that you ask people you frequently
exchange mail with to follow the following
guidelines:
• Use katakana for nouns, especially proper nouns
such as geographic names and personal names.
• Use punctuation marks, etc.
