Read phonetic representation and ASCII value is quite important and should add into NVDA future release.

The problem with reading phonetic representation is that it presents localisation issues. While we can certainly allow for phonetic reading of the English alphabet, providing similar functionality for all languages is extremely difficult. Furthermore, it is dependent on the synth language in use, not necessarily the NVDA language. We have very similar problems with the current punctuation support.

at least reading ascii representation of the character was done by me and you can press numpad2 three times to hear this one as well as hex.

three times to hear this one as well as hex.

You mean:
You can press numpad2 twice to hear this one as well as hex.

I have tryed it on two systems and you don't have to press numpad2 three times.
I think this fixes this ticket.

No, this ticket is only partially implemented. The reporter requested both reading of phonetic representation (alpha, bravo, etc.) as well as ASCII value. The latter has been implemented, but the former has not. (These should probably have been filed as separate tickets, but no matter.)
