    The following example explains what I'm facing:

    If I ask Google Assistant the following:
    "Hey google ask autovoice volume 5"

    Google Assistant will send the following command to autovoice:
    "Hey google ask autovoice volume FIVE"

    In tasker i need the variable to be a number (5 and not Five), so I guess you can see why this is causing me issues.

    Any thoughts?

    Unfortunately I don't control what Google recognizes, sorry :( The most you can do is use Natural Language which will translate it to a number if you use a field with the Number type.

    I see.. thanks for the reply :)
    I haven't gone all in on natural language yet. It has a higher learning curve, but eventually i will.
    Meanwhile what I did to "fix" this is use Replacements in Autovoice, and replace "one" with 1, "two" with 2, etc.. up to 10.
    It's not a perfect fix, but for now it's going what ii need.

    Yep, that works too :) It's just a whole lot more work. Glad you got it though!
