I said in an earlier message that the dictionary shouldn't work as I described. On further thought, it should. It doesn't know when moving by carachter by carachter if the letters are part of a word

I just changed the entries as I described and they work properly. Gene

I just found out a way in which the speech dicgtionary acts improperly and causes a problem. While what I said is true and I just tested it by making a lot of entries and having them read in a novel

the problom with this approach is that other letters than I would lose their meaning, such as x, v, c and so on. whether NVDA should pronounce Iii as "3` or "I I I" is a matter for the synthesizer

I think I figured it out. When using the whole word setting, if I don't include a space before and afgter the numeral, it works. I made an entry iv and in the pronounced as field I placed 4. I

An alternative to Brian's method, might be something longish like the following. Although again I don't fully understand the issue, not having gotten Janet's messages, so it might fail the use case

My thinking it that there can be no whitespace after the colon, or an instance of a single whitespace character, but not multiple whitespace characters. Definitely not the same as .* at all. I agree

Brian I'm not receiving Janet's messages for some reason, so I'm not sure of every detail of her requirement for this, but I am left with a question. What is the \s? at each end doing? I mean

Janet, A second quick addendum, I just realized that what I've given so far may not work for cancer staging, as I presume that would be the word "stage" followed by the Roman numerals one

Janet, A quick addendum, I don't know how the letter A following a Roman numeral will end up being pronounced, as that's based on the synthesizer, so you may get ah or you may get A. I

Janet, Below is the list of 10 regular expressions, followed by what you use for the replacement, that you need to enter in your speech dictionary in the order listed. I emphasize again: in the order

It isn't clear to me after experimenting with the speech dictionary how the whole word setting works. I had originally thought that those who wanted to have something like Roman numerals spoken as

Janet, Thanks. I'll post what you need to use a bit later this evening. I will only ask this one time again, are the letters after the numeral limited to a certain set? If not, I'll look

- What could be? Everything you write after this is essentially what I proposed: using the speech dictionary with regular expression matching to very strictly limit what is captured and

Hi Brian, Yes, the Roman numerals must be in upper case. Some examples of Roman numerals combined with letters and Arabic numbers are: â Schatzker III: Depression only of lateral tibial

Raymond, Count me among those who say, "Update to Office 2016, 2019, or 365 slightly quicker than you'd planned." You also have the option of changing over to other well-known and

Hello Folks Approximately 2 months ago I commenced using NVDA, currently version 2020.3. Within a couple of weeks of this I subscribed to this group and this is my first post. I am in the midst

This could be made much easier, and possibly adding this ability would be useful to others in different contexts. You can now tell the dictionary to recognize the item anywhere, whole word, or

Janet, I believe I understand what you're saying about the character afterward, but would you mind tossing out a couple of examples. Particularly, if the character(s) that can come after

Hi again Brian, That’s right, these are the only Roman numerals I need NVDA to speak. There would always be a space preceding the numeral; however, occasionally (perhaps 5 to 10% of the time)
