I finally found something I don't like about ESpeak: it says "mister" when it reads "mr", regardless of whether there's a period after the r. My company recently switched to Gitlab, so merge requests are now a common topic of text-based conversation. "I'm having trouble creating an mister for this." "Can you make an mister for that?" "Let me go approve that mister."
@alexhall Unless you're on the Mac, this is trivial to patch. Get the espeak sources (doing this under WSL is easiest), find this rule either in en_list or en_rules, compile and replace your NVDA's en_dict. You can even send a pull request to boot. I've done this for Polish many times, the built-in Polish rules are quite terrible. The filenames may be slightly different than what I've listed here because en_us, en__uk and so on are separate variants, grep should be your friend.
