It is my understanding that the tts_pronunciation.txt file was developed so the player names would be pronounced correctly. I don’t know how it interfaces with OOTP or the Windows Narrator. I use an Ivona voice because Ivona has a lexicon file that can be used to change pronunciations. In mine, I changed St. Louis to say Saint Louis. Since Ivona uses a different pronunciation method than the one in the tts_pronunciation.txt file, I don’t use the .txt file. It doesn’t work with Ivona. I have had to change a lot of the name pronunciations because Ivona uses the Europe vowel sounds. I have also used the lexicon to change the way batting averages are said. For example, instead of saying ‘he is batting dot three hundred two’ mine says “he is batting an admirable three oh two”. I have changed all the batting average pronunciations up to .609. From then on I used the same prefixes for a lot of the higher averages since they rarely show up in the game. I have also changed many abbreviations to say the actual words, e.g. IP says Innings Pitched. If there was a modifiable lexicon for the Windows narrator then everyone could change stuff to say the way they wanted to. If there is such a lexicon for Windows, I can’t find it. It is my hope that either Windows or OOTP develop a lexicon that work with Narrator. Until then I will continue to use Ivona. That is along answer to your question. The short answer is that I don’t think the tts_pronunciation.txt file can be modified to do what you want. Pstrickert may know.
