iOS: Voice Over doesn't read proper for ".03 hours" text

I have a text in either of below formats:

.03 hours

0.03 - 0.05 hours

In above cases accessibility should read in below format:

dot zero three hours

zero dot zero three (character name) zero dot zero five hours

But in real scenario it is reading like below:

three hours

zero dot zero three zero dot five hours

Like i mentioned above the number format is getting from json response as string type and it might be in any format like 0.03 hours, .03 hours, .03 - .05 hours, 4 - 5 hours

to fix the issue, I have tried many solutions like below but no luck

hoursLabel.accessibilityAttributedLabel = NSAttributedString(string: hoursLabel.text ?? "", attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.accessibilitySpeechPunctuation: NSNumber(value: true)])

Can any one help me out, how to fix this scenario.

In may case it should work in all other units like .03 (unit)

First of all, you should rearrange the incoming data so as to have the same defined format. Then, you just have to set up this format to be read out as desired by VoiceOver.

Hereunder, an ObjC code snippet from this complete 'date, time and numbers' explanation:

@interface ViewController ()
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel * hourLabel;
@end


@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    NSDateFormatter * dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"0.HH"];

    NSDate * date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"0.05"];


    _hourLabel.text = [NSDateFormatter localizedStringFromDate:date
                                                     dateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle
                                                     timeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];

    NSDateComponents * hourComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSCalendarUnitHour
                                                                        fromDate:date];

    _hourLabel.accessibilityLabel = [NSDateComponentsFormatter localizedStringFromDateComponents:hourComponents
                                                                                      unitsStyle:NSDateComponentsFormatterUnitsStyleSpellOut];
}
@end

Unless I misunderstood your need, you should reach your purpose using this rationale.
