# How to help the bot pronounce phone numbers correctly
In some languages the bot can change the pronunciation of phone numbers to a basic number.\
To make sure a phone number is pronounced correctly, you can use Speech markdown (SSML). See the [voices overview](https://developer.dialox.ai/channel/phone/?h=voices#voices) in the developer documentation to make sure your chosen voice supports SSML.
In the flow you can add speech markdown in brackets to a phone number to make sure the bot interprets it correctly: `[phone]`
(variable)[phone] or (+3123456789)[phone]
