However, in the mixed numbers/letters case, I agree that Speakup is the only screen-reader where I've experienced this. While I am certainly not a programmer, I used Vocal-eyes and Jaws over 10-years--and both have pronunciation dictionaries. Since Speakup is one of the only screen-readers not to have a dictionary other than for typing charictors. Speakup and Jupiter have been the only ones I've used while in Linux for going on 1-year. I would love to tryYASR or even try-and run Vocaleyes through dosemu Hart
