Hi Everyone

This post is dedicated to Canada so please anyone driving in Canada clear your TTS cache - cc@tts

I have added the following abbreviations:

Hwy = Highway
Brg = Bridge
Cres = Crescent
Aut = Autoroute
Carref = Carrefour
Circt = Circuit
Conc = Concession
Crnrs = Corners
Crt = Court
Crois = Croissant
Cross = Crossing
Cds = Cul-de-sac
Divers = Diversion
Dr = Drive
Espl = Esplanade
Estate = Estates
Exten = Extension
Grnds = Grounds
Hghlds = Highlands
Imp = Impasse
Lkout = Lookout
Lmts = Limits
Ptway = Pathway
Plat = Plateau
Rg = Range
Rdpt = Rond-point
Rle = Ruelle
Subdiv = Subdivision
Tsse = Terrasse
Tline = Townline
Trnabt = Turnabout
Villge = Village

I have a few questions:

1. One report said that accented letters like é in Montréal are pronounced as "commercial". I couldn't reproduce this in any voice in Canada. Is this still happening?

2. QEW - the response said that it should be pronounced as que ee double-u. This is what I hear. Can you see if it's still happening?


3. Some of the requested abbreviations were too general and I would need more details about how they appear, Otherwise any occurrence of them would be replaced:

3.1 C = Centre. I need to know exactly how C appears when it should be pronounced as Centre. Replacing C is too general and would replace any "C" anywhere. Does it always appear as a separate character (Like N, S, E, W for North, South, East, West)? Can it appear also in the end of a sentence?

3.2 Ch = Chemin

3.3 Éch = Échangeur

3.4 Sent = Sentier

3.5 Thick = Thicket



4. HOV - I hear HOV as separate letters.

5. Landng I hear Landing

6. Pt - I hear Point

7. Pvt is pronounced as Private (as it should)

8. Ave is pronounced as Avenue

That's it for now.
Would love to hear your feedback!
