-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I am finding some number pronunciation oddities in eSpeak. For example:
1.05 is spoken as 1 point 5
1.005 and 1.0005 are spoken as 1 point and 5
10000000 is spoken as 1 million
100000000 is spoken as 1 0 and thousand thousand
1,000,000,000 is spoken as 1 thousand million
12345 is spoken as 1 2 thousand 3 hundred and 45
Note that with the commas, numbers up through 99,999,999 seem to be
spoken correctly. However, there are a lot of instances where I find
these numbers without the commas.
Is there a way to change the way these numbers are spoken, or is this a
bug?
Thanks for any help,
Lorenzo
