Number normalization: 'first' → '1st' and 'scale of 1 to 5' → time

Thanks for the clear examples, and sorry this is getting in the way. Paraspeech 1.7.2 does not currently show a control for spoken-number formatting. We're reviewing the ordinal and rating-scale conversions separately.

I'm finding that with both transcription and on-device cleanup, Paraspeech still normalizes spoken 'first'/'second' into 1st/2nd and misreads 'rate this on a scale of 1 to 5' as a time like 4:59. This currently makes it hard to use Paraspeech for designing prompts and transcripts. This didn't happen before, and I'm wondering if it's a byproduct of the smart formatting / number-normalization layer that was added recently. I've tried creating a new cleanup prompt, but it's being overridden by the default settings. I'm on Paraspeech 1.7.2 (367). Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance for any help!
