This repository contains pronunciation dictionaries for RHVoice's English voices. These dictionaries help correct pronunciation of specific words and names that may not be pronounced correctly by default.

English/namefix.txt - Pronunciation corrections for proper names
English/wordfix.txt - Pronunciation corrections for common words

Update Scripts

Linux

Run the Linux update script:

sudo ./update_linux.sh

This copies the English directory to /etc/RHVoice/dicts/.

Android

Run the Android update script with your device connected over adb:

./update_android.sh

The Android script checks for adb, verifies that com.github.olga_yakovleva.rhvoice.android is installed, creates the RHVoice dictionary directory if needed, and pushes the dictionary files to:

/sdcard/Android/data/com.github.olga_yakovleva.rhvoice.android/files/dicts/English

RHVoice also keeps its config under the same external app files directory, for example:

/sdcard/Android/data/com.github.olga_yakovleva.rhvoice.android/files/RHVoice.conf

Android private app data also exists under /data/user/0/com.github.olga_yakovleva.rhvoice.android, but that area is not readable over normal adb on a non-debuggable Play Store build.

Manual Linux Installation

Copy the English directory to the RHVoice dictionaries location:

sudo cp -r English /etc/RHVoice/dicts/

Usage

After installation, RHVoice will automatically use these pronunciation fixes when reading text. You may need to restart any applications using RHVoice for the changes to take effect, e.g. speech-dispatcher.
