Time
d

*
. 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” is added before or after the number, it is read out before the number.
*
：
The time entered in the format of “Hour”:“Minute”:“Second” (e.g. 23:15:10) is not read out.
■
Date
d
Numbers separated by a slash (/) or a period (.) are read out as time. If “M”, “T”, “S” or “H” (upper
case) is inserted before a date, the corresponding (Japanese) era name is read out.
a
The above formats for numbers, monetary amounts, phone numbers, time and date can also be
used with double-byte characters.
a
When monetary amounts, phone numbers, time or date are read out and the string read out is
immediately preceded or followed by any of the characters shown below, the numbers will not be
delimited correctly. When you want to have monetary amounts, phone numbers, time or date read
out correctly, you should use a space as the delimiting character before and after the item.
0-9, A-Z (upper case), colon (:), ¥, slash (/), period (.), hyphen (-) (single-byte/double-byte)

d

shown when used with numbers.)
■
Others
d
Alphabetic letters are read out in alphabet reading, but may be read otherwise in certain combinations.
d
Depending on the content of a sentence or description (particularly where place names or proper
nouns are used), the FOMA terminal may not read out the sentence or may read it out incorrectly.
d
Mail is not read out in a natural voice. In some cases the sounds or stress may be difficult to understand.
d
Items such as punctuation marks (periods and commas), line feeds and spaces serve as
separators for passages read out, except where a period (.) or comma (,) is preceded and/or
followed by numbers. In text that has no delimiting punctuation, reading is paused automatically.
Depending on the content being read out, there may be a pause before the FOMA terminal
starts speaking. The FOMA terminal may also be unable to correctly read out passages where
kanji characters are used. To ensure that the content of your received mail is read out correctly,
you should recommend the following guidelines to people with whom you frequently correspond:
a
Compose your e-mail using katakana for nouns, particularly proper nouns such as place names
and personal names.
a
Use punctuation marks when composing mails.
