### Answer
To ensure your agent says numbers correctly, like "$4500" as "four thousand five hundred dollars," you could adjust the text processing within your assistant's configuration. While specific instructions on text preprocessing for numerical values in speech aren't directly provided in the documents, you might consider implementing custom logic in your application that formats numbers to their spoken equivalents before sending the text to your Vapi assistant for speech synthesis. This approach involves converting numerical values into their textual representation that naturally corresponds to how the number should be spoken.
For more complex customization or handling specific scenarios, reviewing the assistant's configuration options or exploring the voice provider's documentation might provide additional insights or features related to speech customization [(1)](
