# RHVoice English Pronunciation Fixes
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Contents
|
|
|
|
- `English/namefix.txt` - Pronunciation corrections for proper names
|
|
- `English/wordfix.txt` - Pronunciation corrections for common words
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Automatic Installation
|
|
|
|
Run the installation script:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
```
|

### Manual Installation
|
|
|
|
Copy the English directory to the RHVoice dictionaries location:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|

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