Guidelines for Pronunciation Instructions

• Spell Out Numbers: Instead of writing numbers numerically (e.g., 123), spell them out (e.g., "one hundred twenty-three"). For larger numbers, break them into smaller parts (e.g., "two thousand and twenty-four").
• Use Custom Abbreviations: Write out common abbreviations fully (e.g., "United States" instead of "US") or break them into individual letters with periods (e.g., "U.S.").
• Add Hyphens for Clarity: Use hyphens for multi-part numbers or abbreviations (e.g., "1-800-555-1234" or "A-I-M").
• Provide Contextual Hints: Add context for ambiguous abbreviations (e.g., "NASA (the space agency)").
• Test Different Formats: Experiment with different formats for better pronunciation (e.g., "twenty-four hours" vs. "24 hours").
