Pronunciation of Years: E.G.: 1954 as Nineteen Fifty Four

Hi All, That's my first message: Many thanks for the app and the forum! A simple RegEx rule to have 4 digit numbers pronounced the usual way: E.G.: 1954 Not as "One thousand nine hundred fifty four" (which rather annoyed me) but as "nineteen fifty four."

@Voice "does not support" Hindi PDF files (or other Indic languages PDFs)

@Voice can extract text from any PDF file that does contain valid text (and not just images of scanned pages, where OCR needs to be employed to recognize text from images), AND contains a valid translation table from the font codes used in this PDF to Unicode standard. Somehow it's a very bad "tradi..

Reading aloud dual language text (or text in multiple languages)

First words of each sentence are cut off, not heard or spoken very softly

This is caused by the sound effect called “fade-in music”. External speakers or headsets sometimes do this – when a new sound starts, they assume it’s a start of new song and gradually increase volume from 0 to whatever volume level you have set. Sometimes people also install apps that process sound..
