Hi Jim,

Yes, this is even better than what I wanted.

Hi,

Tools ---> General Options ---> Automatic Actions ---> Add Action ---> Display Text

I would like to display the Article Title before the article starts reading.

I would like to display the Article Title before the article starts reading.

Greetings Jim,

Can the Display Text Field in the Automatic Action Option take a variable argument? If so, what are some of the variable arguments (or tags) that can be used in the Display Text Field.

Also being able to move dictionaries up or down by dragging would be very desirable.

Greetings Jim, I have found the problem with Ivona voices that crashes TextAloud and produces the error message: Speech Error: SSML input not valid; cannot find 'speak' element (Error 80045003). The problem is caused by the following regular expression and Sapi 5 Pronunciation tag used on Respell li...

Greetings Jim,

It would be nice to have the option to select or deselect all dictionaries in the Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance.

Greetings Jim,

It would be very nice to have some Search and Replace capabilities for the Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance. It is currently very difficult to make any mass (multiple) changes to the Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance.

Greetings: I have used the word Inaugural in both AT&T Mike and Crystal and both pronounce Inaugural perfectly without any stumbles. AT&T Natural Voices can pronounce any regular English word perfectly. Only phonemes from imported foreign words (usually French, German or Portuguese) have to ...

Greetings David, You can solve your problem with the following two regexes: (?#start_[)(?m)(?:^|\s|['"‘“(]|\p{Pi}|\p{Ps}|\p{Pd})\(\K(?=[^)\r\n(]+\)[’”\p{Po}\p{Pe}\p{Pf}]{0,2}(?:\s|$)) between parenthesis, <s> (?#end_])(?m)(?:^|\s|['"‘“(]|\p{Pi}|\p{Ps}|\p{Pd})\([^)\r\n(]+\K(?=\)[’”\p{Po}\p{...

Greetings Ryan,

Just an idea, since the updates bother you, why don't you ignore the updates and just update once a month. This is what I do with some updates like Skype.

Greetings John, Lets start fresh; the first thing you need to do is delete the entries you made for reed and red noted in your comments above. There are two ways you can get the correct pronunciation you want. The first uses regular expression and is the best solution. Method 1 Enter the Pronunciati...

Greetings John, The homographs (read and wind) and the examples you provide can easily be made to pronounce to correctly using regular expression (or simpler substitutions) in the Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance. In your first read example, you would respell read as reed. In your second read ex...

Greetings Mark, You can also accomplish text skipping with simple regular expressions. Go to the Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance and enter the following new dictionary entry. Step 1: Choose Text Matching: Regular Expression and enter the following regular expression (?#Skip_)(?m)^\s*?\K[_]{1,}(...

Greetings Jim,

Yes, this is pronunciation related. I am aware of the ##LowerCase function and utilize it extensively, but for me who reads many New York Times articles a capitalization function would be nice.

Greetings,

Is it possible to incorporate a Text Capitalization Function on the edit menu that would convert text such as BY DAVID BROOKS to By David Brooks?

Greetings, Currently, if you are in the search filter mode and intentionally or accidentally add a new entry, then exit the search filter mode, the dictionary will be scrambled in what seems to be a random fashion. This has happened to me a few times (luckily I had a backup). I guess the easiest fix...

Just as I thought.

I would be nice and courteous of you to show the "simple text match/replace" that you have been using that do as good a job as the other regular expressions your fellow users were kind enough to provide above, to try to help you out.

Hi Jim,

I tested the update and it works great for me.

Thanks,

Line numbering capabilities needed for TextAloud Dictionaries and the ability to go to a specific line number and still be able to see the entries above and below the line to which you have gone. Right now it is virtually impossible to edit a large dictionary properly because even if you find the li...

Greetings:

Is it possible to use the search filter to return negative searches? for example is it possible to search for "not apple": that is, the search filter would return all entries that do not contain the word apple.

Hi Jim, Thanks for your suggestions, but the problem with using these simpler matches is that they create a lot of unintended matches. I am still amazed that you favor \b which can be very unpredictable in its matching, especially when numbers are involved. I had checked the regex with the greedy an...

For Example 1: (?#19[1-9][0-9], 19[1-9][0-9]_1)(?m)(?<=^|\s|['"‘“(]|\p{Pi}|\p{Ps}|\p{Pd})which s?he won in (?:[^.]*|[^.]*?)\K(1[9])([1-9][0-9],)(?!(?: and| or) (?:1[9][1-9][0-9],?|2[0-9][1-9][0-9],?))(?=[’”\p{Po}\p{Pe}\p{Pf}]{0,2}(?:\s|$)) "$1" "$2" (?#19[1-9][0-9], 19[1-9][...

Greetings: Is there currently a way to get the regex engine to repeat the same regex, x number of times. If not, could this feature be developed for TA's Pronunciation Dictionary. There are number of cases (usually involving lists of numbers) that the only way for the regex to work as intended is fo...

Hi Jim,

Having the same problem with the latest update you supplied (3.0.32.2) .

Greetings Jim,

The latest version of TextAloud (3.0.32.1) does not work for me. It gives an "Invalid regular expression matching string" error message.

I am back to using Version 3.0.31.



P.S. Love the new line numbering.

See the following post on entering a regular expression in TextAloud: http://www.nextup.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6302#p14652 I believe that Jim has some links to documentation on regular expressions. Percy Henry http://ReadTAClearly.com P.S. Although the above regular expression can be gen...

Can't understand why you are still having this problem. A long time ago I had the same problem with misery being pronounced as Missouri but since I entered the phoneme I recommended to you in AT&T NV, I have had no problems with the pronunciation. I was also having problems with the pronunciatio...

Greetings, You can try the following regex and respell: (?#hey!)(?m)(?<=^|\s|['"‘“(]|\p{Pi}|\p{Ps}|\p{Pd})hey!(?!\s*?\r\n)(?= +(?-i)[a-z]) hey, I don't have Julia but I tested it with AT&T Mike and it works. You can lessen the pause by removing the comma from the respell hey; however to me ...
