Modified PbP File for TTS Feature

[pstrickert]

File updated.

[Braden]

Is the short PbP part of the English xml file or somewhere else? If it is somewhere else, where is it?

[pstrickert]

Some of the short PbP text is drawn from the text DB. But some of it is hard-coded (ball location references, for example). The hard-coded stuff is not accessible through the text DB.

Is there a list of the short PbP text used?

[pstrickert]

I'm not sure what you mean by a list.

[pstrickert]

The batter intro material is drawn from the text DB. The rest of the short PbP is hard-coded, I believe.

As an example the short PbP will be (Groundball, 56D, EV 108.1 MPH)...


It sound weird when the voice speaks it.

I was using an old Ivona 2 voice for my in game voice. I made a lexicon for it which said more that .250 and all the averages. That voice is difficult, if not impossible, and did not always prounce thing correctly. I found in the windows directory for windows 11 a folder called Spech_OneCore, Engine, Lexicon, en-US and it was empty. I put my Ivona lexicon in it and now the Windows narrator voices that OOTP Uses will use it and it sounds much better.

If you to try it, you can get it here:

If anyone tried this you found that it did not work.

I have modified pstrickert's great tts_pronunciation.txt file so that batting average have description mot just number.

This does work with the narrator voice, unlike the last one I posted.

Here is the download link:

Any idea why the narrator mispronounces bases, it says basees instead of bases. I tried to adjust it in you tts file but that did not seem to work.

It isn't a mispronunciation, it's a context reading failure. One of the bugaboos of TTS: homophones.

So, the only way to fix this, and other mispronunciation in the game is to add the mispronounced word to the tts_pronunciation.txt file in misc. folder and used a program like the Phonetic Spelling Generator and use that phonetic to pronounce.

There are a few other words like bat, putout, etc. that are annoying and require the same.

I tried to modify your tts_pronunciation.txt file like I did to add words to the batting averages and delete or change some other stuff but I can't figure out what to add to have not pronounce the stuff in () as my example above. I have added MPH's from the 50s to the 100s but can't get them silenced. I got the stuff like 56D & EV silence but can't get the rest silenced
Do you know how to do that?

IIRC, a long time ago, Andreas said it wasn't possible to silence anything. I think that's what I remember. Like I said, it was a long time ago. :-/

Well, as I said, I was able to silence part of it but not all of it. Doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I will contact Andreas.

Thanks for the anwer.

[pstrickert]

What did you do to silence some parts?

[Braden]

(?<=^|[[unct:][:space:]])EV(?=[[unct:][:space:]]|$) " "
and all the ball locations, E.g., (?<=^|[[unct:][:space:]])3SF(?=[[unct:][:space:]]|$) " "

I'm in awe of your industriousness.

Not industriousness enough to figure out how to ignore the other stuff in the ( )!
