Greetings Jack, Did not mean to offend you by calling you a novice. Using AT&T NV dictionary enter the following phoneme for misery: m ih z 1 ax 0 r iy 0 after entering the phoneme in AT&T NV, you have to exit TA for the changes to take effect. If you want to enter the phoneme in TA3 use the...

For most words flipping 0, 1 or 2 on the stress syllable(s) will not be noticeable to the novice. As you get more practice you will hear the subtle differences especially when the text is being read. However, for some words the placement of 0, 1 or 2 in the stress or unstressed syllable makes a big ...

Greetings Jack,

I believe the following post addresses your question: http://www.nextup.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6296

Greetings again, It was just mere luck that AT&T NV pronounced minute correctly in this case; to force it to pronounce minute correctly you would need a regular expression like the following: (?#mynute)(?m)(?<=^|\s|['"‘“(]|\p{Pi}|\p{Ps}|\p{Pd})(?<=split into two bright but )minute(?= suns)(...

Greetings: It became clearly split into two bright but minute suns, but a minute later TextAloud has a big problem with pronouncing homographs like (live, read, minute, etc.). If the above problem you encountered occurs in an AT&T NV voice it can be easily fixed (see the following post: http://w...

Greetings: You can do this by using AT&T Natural Voices phoneme editor available at C:\Program Files\ATTNaturalVoices\TTS1.4\Desktop\data\en_us.dict The phoneme for Klingon, if you are using AT&T phoneme editor would be k l ih ng 1 aa n 0 0 = syllable not stressed 1 = syllable has primary st...

Greetings, What you are requesting can easily be handled with a regex/phoneme combination, but they are complications: since regex/phoneme combinations are currently extremely slow in TA3, I would not generalized the solution but do it on a case by case basis since some voices like AT&T NV alrea...

The problems described above seems to occur with relatively large text. TA 3.0.19, seems to work OK when the article's text size is relatively small.

Percy Henry

TA 3.0.19 not working properly, when resume is activated after a pause article reading seems to start from somewhere near the beginning. Also there is no highlighting of text when reading.

Percy Henry

P.S. In the meantime, I need to re-install TA 3.0.18 where can I find a copy.

Greetings, I tested your sample text and the following regex works on it: (?#BibleSkip)(?m)(?<=^)\d+(?=(?-i)[A-Z](?i)) Follow the instructions given by Jim (above) to enter this regex, but do not enable case sensitivity. If you have spaces before the numbers this alternative should work for all situ...

I have given some more thought to this problem and on further reflection, it seems that the regex engine is working correctly. Without, the else clause the embedded condition, (?(?= – ) – 0?([1-9]|1[0-2]):0([1-9])\s*?([AP])\.?M\.?), is optional and the non-optional part of the regex, ([1-9]|1[0-2]):...

The regex below, with the embedded condition, (?(?= – ) – 0?([1-9]|1[0-2]):0([1-9])\s*?([AP])\.?M\.?), should pick-up the time 4:15 – 5:05 p.m. in the text below and it does. (?#dd:To)(?m)(?<=^|\s)['"‘“\p{Pi}\p{Ps}]{0,2}0?([1-9]|1[0-2]):([1-5][0-9])(?(?= – ) – 0?([1-9]|1[0-2]):0([1-9])\s*?([AP]...

Jim, got a chance to check out the new move/copy feature and it seems great!

Your willingness to constantly improve this product is greatly appreciated by me and I hope the rest of the TA community.


Thanks,

Percy

Greetings Jim, I installed the new update and it seems to have cleared up the problem. Thanks a lot. On another note, I just don't understand why at this point users are not able to save the results of a filtered search to a new dictionary. Last night I spent hours entering the result of a filtered ...

Jim, this feature was working up to Version 3.0.10. I first noticed the problem in Version 3.0.12 when the following regex/phoneme combination crashed TA3: (?#asylum seekers)(?m)(?<=^|\s)['"‘“\p{Pi}\p{Ps}\p{Pd}]{0,2}asylum seekers(?=[^'’‘´a-z])(?=\s|\b|’|”|\p{Po}|\p{Pe}|\p{Pf}|\p{Pd}) ax - s ay...

The Phoneme Helper & (Word Boundary) Character in TA3 is no longer working.


Percy Henry

Actually if you are just interest in capturing the words a more elegant regex would be the following: (?m)(?<=^|\s)([a-zäöüß]+)(?=,|\s|\.) If you also want to pick-up the commas in you capturing parenthesis then following modification should do the trick: (?m)(?<=^|\s)([a-zäöüß,]+)(?=\s|\.) (?<=^|\s...

Greetings,

I am not sure what you are trying to do since you did not show the replacement string but modifying the second regex (([\s]([,][\s])+[a-z,ä,ö,ü,ß]+)[\s])to the following:

(?m)((^|[,][\s]|[\s][,]|\s)[a-z,ä,ö,ü,ß]+)(?=[\s]|\.)

should capture all words.

Percy Henry

Greetings Jim, Is it possible to modify TA3 so that it would start assigning voices based on the By Line it encounters in an article? For Example in the following text: << February 5, 2011 Blame, Not Shame By Maureen Dowd So many to blame. So little space. >> TA3 would automatically change the defau...

Since you are still learning the basics, you need to humble yourself; that is the only way you can learn.

Percy Henry

Larry,

The only reason you are having problems is because you have a bad attitude. If you take time to follow the instructions I outlined, it would solve whatever problem you are having.


Percy Henry.

Greetings Larry: I have AT&T's Mike and Crystal and both had no problem pronouncing sanctuary correctly with the example you gave. To pronounce sanctuary correctly you should use a Phoneme Editor: If you are using TA3 do the following: 1. Enter the Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance 2. Choose ...

Hi Jim,

Yes that would do it but as a point of efficiency the change might be beneficial to those of us who edit article titles frequently.

Percy Henry

For a more general approach to correcting dollar pronunciation problems:

Greetings Jim,

Can you update the Edit Article Title function so that it fills up the space for changes with text that is highlighted from an article?

Percy Henry

Jim,

The Automatic Actions option is a real nice enhancement.

Greetings:

How can I get TA3 to automatically delete an article from the Article List after it has been read using the Multi Article Speak Mode?
