to speak numbers in a certain way when giving
voice commands.

500, 800 and 900 can be pronounced as “five
hundred”, “eight hundred” and “nine hundred”
respectively.
For other numbers, only single digits 0 (zero) to 9
can be used. (For example, for the number “600”,
speaking “six zero zero” can be recognized by
