got it working but with glitches

Many thanks for this thread - I had no idea that tts existed in the game before reading about it here!

I have DL'd pstrickert's file and installed over original - thanks for sharing your work.

I have 'Joey' installed and working in the commentary box on my old but still good XP machine.

My question is that there are some pronunciation issues that crop up all the time and I cannot fix them.

Main one is when the text is for example: '10-18' as in games played record Joey says: 'One thousand eighteen'.
Early in every game he also comments on the two lines of dots (...) that appear before the first pitch with the immersion-breaker: "DOT DOT"

I know almost nothing about tts, lexicons etc. I have tried to educate Joey via Ivona lexicon but it appears that though Joey will happily oblige outside OOTP once in it he ignores the lexicon changes.

I have also tried adding lines to the tts_pronunciation.txt but again it makes no difference (I have no idea if there is a format for these extra entries so that could explain it but I have tried several ways without success).

Well never mind - if anyone knows how these things might be fixed then great - if not at least I can stop trying - any advice greatly appreciated.

cheers
kevin
