My A.I cant speak numbers like 2024. I have to make the prompt say twenty twenty four. Why is this? Can someone help? I believe this is a common question because I called another voice bot that this youtuber made using Vapi and it said long numbers perfectly. For some reason I feel like this problem has been solved before. And Im just dumb

@Hair It sounds like you're encountering an issue with number formatting in speech synthesis. This can happen if the text-to-speech (TTS) engine isn't configured to handle numbers in the way you expect. However, you mentioned that you've heard another voice bot handle long numbers perfectly, which suggests that the capability exists within the VAPI system. One potential solution is to enable the smart formatting option provided by Deepgram, which you mentioned. The

assistant.transcriber.smartFormat

boolean can be set to true to allow the system to automatically format numbers in a more natural-sounding way for speech output. Would you like me to enable the smart formatting option for you? If so, please confirm, and I'll proceed with the necessary changes.

Yes

Hey @Hair To help track down this issue, could you share: - The call ID - When exactly this happened (the timestamp) - What response you expected to get - What response you actually got instead This would really help me figure out what went wrong!
