Pronunciation: Unwanted Dates

I did remove the older TTS version first. I thought the 2 might conflict. I wasn't using it because of the clicking problem I was having with it.

The legal status of ViaVoice is a bit unclear, at least on Windows. On Linux, it's still sold by Voxin, but I'm not aware of anyone still selling it for Windows. The last news I found concerning it was around 2011 or 2012, when Wizzard Software discontinued it. There are some not-trial versions floating around, i.e. they claim to be trials and seem to have trial watermarks in their installers, and claim you have 90 days to use them in their license agreements, but no actual demo limitations, but it's unclear where exactly they came from, and they're very difficult to find online today. Interestingly, the parser included with that version of ViaVoice still exists today in IBM Watson, they're not selling the same voice of course, but parser is still very much the same, you can verify this by trying out an online demo of Watson and sending it words or phrases that ViaVoice mispronounces, such as ribcage or on does.

What is awfully clicky? I've tried the SAPI 5 version and the add-on version of Eloquence. They aren't clicky. I don't know when this was corrected, but for quite awhile, the add-on paid version of Eloquence had a lot of artifacts and I recommended against people using it. But at some point, that was corrected.

Did anyone get this to work? I’m having the same exact issue, but when I pasted the suggested resolution into the fields, it still happens, even after restarting NVDA.
Thanks, Jonathan

Adding a Regular Expression match to the Default Dictionary 1. Hit NVDA+N,P,D,D NVDA Main Menu, Preferences, Speech dictionaries, Default Dictionary 2. Hit ALT+A to activate the Add Button or navigate to it and activate it. 3. In the dialog that appears, paste or enter a regular expression in the Pattern edit box. 4. Paste or enter the replacement you want to hear in the Replacement edit box. If you're using a capturing regular expression this may be a sequence of backslashes followed by the numbers of the capture groups you're using. 5. The Comment edit box should either have a comment that helps you to remember the purpose of this dictionary entry, which is preferable, or be left blank. 6. Leave the Case Sensitive checkbox unchecked. 7. The Type radio button should be set to Regular Expression. 8.
