Brief summary
The following happens on websites with Lang=nb, and with the Norwegian voice Microsoft Jon:
9-digit numbers like this 111 222 333 are read out like this: 222 111 333. The speech viewer gets it right, but the speech voice change the order of the digits for some reason.
But, if I switch to Lang=en and any of the English voices like Microsoft Suzan, the number is read out correctly.
This seems to happen on any page. This is an example: https://virksomhet.brreg.no/nb/oppslag/enheter/989170325 The "Organisasjonsnummer: 989 170 344" are read out like this "170 989 344".
Steps to reproduce
- In any browser, open https://virksomhet.brreg.no/nb/oppslag/enheter/989170325
- turn on NCDA screen reader with Microsoft Jon
- let the screen reader read "Organisasjonsnummer: 989 170 325"
- You will then hear that the voice says "170 989 325".
- Change Language to English (in the header) and voice to Microsoft Suzan
- Now you will hear the number read in the correct order.
