Answer

"2.01" - two point zero one.

Answer

Hello Aleksey,

You don't say 'dot' ,you say 'point'.
Whether you use 'Oh or zero' both are comprehensible, however 'zero' is the formal one.
You could say " two point zero one " or " two point oh one".
As a version of a product, you  use the above.

On the other hand the proper way to say or write this number mathematically correct is :
" two and one hundredths "

Examples of other decimal numbers and how to read them properly( not in the case of specifying a product ) :
2.02   =  two and two hundredths.
3.3     =  three and three tenths.
1.004 =  one and four thousandths .

Answer

We always call it version two point o one ("o" is pronounced in the alphabet sound )
