NextUp Pronunciation Editor and Numbers

I've looked at several of the posts concerning Regular Expressions and the Pronunciation Editor. I'm embarassed to say that I'm having trouble making heads or tails of it.. :oops:

I've got a trial version of NextUp Talker (1.042) and we are having trouble with the numbers. This version seems to get the dates and currency right. But I'm having trouble with long numbers that we need to read as single digits. So instead of One hundred twenty three thousand, four hundred and fifty six (123456), I need the numbers repeated as one, two, three, four, five, six. These numbers can be many different lengths and occasionally start with a letter.

The other numeric issue we have is Social Security Numbers. We also would like these pronounced as single digits with the word "dash" in between numbers instead of the word "hyphen". As default in the program, a SSN number is pronounced as One Hundred Twenty Three, forty five, Six Thousand, Seven Hundred, Eighty Nine (123-45-6789).

Please help a newb with expressions, sell your software to our company and I'll owe ya a beer!

TIA

I finally found most of what I wanted in this post:

But this messes with pronouncing year numbers.

Any help Please?
