Cardinal Rules for English (United States)
This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.
Cardinal rules recognize numeric values ranging from zero to one million.
The numeric range that each rule recognizes is encoded in the rule name. For example, Cardinal_1_to_9 can recognize the numbers in the range of one to nine.
The Cardinal rule recognizes the full range of values from zero (or "oh") to one million.
All Cardinal rules return a value of type integer.
The voice mode grammar library contains two additional rules for recognizing cardinal numbers. The Number rule recognizes values from -1,000,000.00 to 1,000,000.00 and the Number_upto1000 rule recognizes values from -1000.00 to 1,000.00.
The Number rules return a value of type float.
