   @devinprater @SingingNala @nellie_m @JesseF8693 That would likely work yes, I imagine that's how some people say the directives, hash include etc. Pound is equally as short sound wise, but you're far more likely to encounter the word pound than the word hash, and even if you deal with fields where the term hash is common it would be easily distinguishable based on the context. Also would prevent conflicts with the pounds sign as used by the British currency. If it could somehow be made to de-stress it so the thing after it would receive the stress that would be best.

     @devinprater @SingingNala @nellie_m @JesseF8693 To make your screen reader say hash instead of number or whatever else it says, you would either modify its symbol pronunciation settings, or if it doesn't have them, use some kind of dictionary entry. For NVDA this would be under the NVDA menu, preferences, punctuation/symbol pronunciation. Type the # character into that list, tab, enter hash in replacement and click OK. If JAWS lets you change them it's probably somewhere in the settings center.
