I tried several things and nothing helped. I tried adding an entry for drive in english.list, but eSpeak still says doctor all the time. I put it after doctor and it said drive all the time. I tried explicitly putting the dot in the entry for doctor, but then it said drive all the time. And when I removed the entry for drive, it simply said d r even if there was a dot after it. Has anyone figured out the right way to do this? Did I maybe forget something that would have made a difference? I can use similar help in the matter of the saint/street problem as well.
