Why does NVDA echo Mariana Islands at times while going through a list of MP3's?
Like 11 Country road.mp3 Hopefully I'm not the only one hearing this!

1. Which speech synthesiser are you using?

2. Which language is it set to use? 3. Exactly what does NVDA say when you get it to read the example line you have quoted - where does "Mariana Islands" appear in the speech output? Antony.

A user interface is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it means it doesn't work. Please reply to the list; please *don't* CC me.

According to Google, the abbreviation for Northern Mariana Islands is mp. So NVDA is interpreting for you. Ugh!

I wonder if there is a setting to tell it not to interpret abbreviations. there isn't in JAWS, and I wish there were. I want to make the interpretation myself, thank you very much. (LOL)

Hi,

This is mostly controlled by the synthesizer in question. You can actually ask a given synthesizer voice to not interpret things for you (NVDA menu/Preferences/Speech dictionaries/Voice dictionary). Cheers, Joseph

I went to menu/Preferences/Speech dictionaries/Voice dictionary). the first one says alt d for dictionary, then alt e to edit. neither of these key combinations work for me. Also tried space bar and enter. Any ideas why? thanks.

You may need to add new entries (try pressing Alt+A for add). If that doesn't work, I will need to look at the log and find out what might be happening. Cheers, Joseph

For me, this happens when using the oneCore voices and browsing through folders of .mp3 files. The odd thing is that it doesn't happen with every file.

I can reproduce this using the OneCore synthesizer, but not with eSpeak, which suggests this is specific to that synthesizer only. It probably has to do with the fact that the line starts with a number, with the word road in the middle

You can use the speech dictionary in JAWS and NVDA
to stop this. Tell it to pronounce the abbreviation as you wish.
This isn't NVDA. It’s the synthesizer.

You are correct, if you remove the numbers,you don't hear Northern Mariana Islands.

Something in the way she moves.mp3 01 Something in the way she moves.mp3 Another one with the one core voice is the abbreviation for cup. it will say something like Cuban peso. No problem, I been dealing with this for a couple of years. Thanks.

Hi. I too did the same thing Brice did and I’m using David with NVDA 2018.4 also. Waiting from a response about this also.

Brice,
I had not seen your observation about Cuban Peso before offering my own. I'm also not getting the Marianas Islands bit with NVDA and the OneCore Voices synthesizer and Microsoft James (the British male voice). He reads M P 3 regardless of whether there's a track number or not. I'd still wonder about the logic, in this day and age, of designing anything to interpret MP as anything until or unless the character following the P has already been checked. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

No that will be a Microsoft speech synth almost certainly. I have a friend with a post code that ends in 2NY, and it will say 2 New York, when in fact they are in Surrey England. This behaviour is nothing new and I'd have hoped by now should be localisable. It also affects imperial measures indeed most abbreviations commonly used in the USA even if you are using the synth in the UK.

Bah Humbug. Espeak if used natively does not do this but the annoying thing with Espeak is roman Numerals for capital letters on their own or in groups that make sense as a roman numeral. Also DR can often be doctor which is not always the case either. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Problem is that it does not work in many cases and there are so many cases you would be all year doing it.

Not sure but I have sorted it, as often mp3 and mp2 etc are not caps.
