Open NVDA's Preferences>Synthesizer
Select Synthesizer "sapi5, Microsoft Speech API version 5 (sapi.SPVoice)"
Run Nokia PC Suite
Help>About Nokia PC Suite
press twice; press ; press
This should take you to System Information and a box with details
Eventually it will read Version: 6.1.7100, as "June First"
This doesn't happen if you are using the default synthesizer, but I was hoping that perhaps you could work around SAPI thinking this was a date :). Blocking #349

Hi,
I don't get what this has to do with the SAPI5.
Actually, 6.1.7100 might look to some sinthesizer a lot like Jun first 7100.
I.e. I don't think NVDA has any fault here.

NVDA can be told to tell a synthesizer what to do. This is where regular expressions in voice-specific speech dictionaries are useful, and that is the idea behind some recent tickets, such as the one asking that NVDA do some preprocessing before telling a synthesizer what to do with announcing a string formatted like date such as 3/3/2015. A caveat with implementing regular expression entries is speed: although you can compile a regular expression (re.compile), because of the way the underlying Python implementation is written, it may add an extra layer when NvDA preprocesses strings to detect specific patterns.
Thanks.

This voice is choosing to interpret this as a date. This kind of handling is misguided IMO, but it occurs far too often. Unfortunately, there's no way to disable this. However, you can probably work around it with a speech dictionary entry.
Changes:
Added labels: cantfix
State: closed
