Vocalizations of expressions
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 11:57 pm
Preface: I'm new at this - I'm willing to 'R.T.F.M.' - Just not sure where to start!
I've noticed in several of my TTS conversions of EPubs to MP3 that vocalizations of expressions like 'Mm' (as in yummy) and 'Ha' (as in laughter) are converted and pronounced as Millimeters and Hectare. Likewise, when referring to LA County the state substitution of Louisiana replaces the intended spelling of letters (for Los Angeles).
Is there the ability to see what 'substitutions' are currently setup in TextAloud. I'd like the ability to turn off select substitutions before performing a TTS convert to MP3 file. I realize that I should create New Entries into the Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance.
Thanks
