## Declaration

soNumberMode = 'nmbr'
```

## Discussion

Get or set the speech channel’s current number-processingmode. Two `OSType` constantsare currently defined, [modeNormal](../1552256-speech-channel_modes/modenormal.md) and [modeLiteral](../1552256-speech-channel_modes/modeliteral.md).When the number-processing mode is `modeNormal`,the synthesizer assembles digits into numbers (so that “12” is spokenas “twelve”). When the mode is `modeLiteral`,each digit is spoken literally (so that “12” is spoken as “one, two”).The `speechInfo` parameteris a pointer to a variable of type `OSType`, whichspecifies the number-processing mode.

This selector works with both the `GetSpeechInfo` and `SetSpeechInfo` functions.
