Quickly modify TTS Voice Files with the help of this tool. TTS_Speech_Doctor is an orthophonist for your GPS. It allows you to modify the pronounciations for certains abbreviations or words.

In the current version, it will patch an English voice file (British, American and Autralian English) to force the "St" abbreviation to be pronounced as "Street" rather than "Saint".

For now, the following abbreviations are supported:
1. Change "St" to "Street" instead of "Saint"
2. Change "FM" to "Farm Road" instead of "F-M"
3. Change "Dr" to "Drive" instead of "Doctor"
4. Change "SR" to "State Road" instead of "Stage Road" (Jack & Jill & Samantha only)
5. Change "Br" to "Business Route" instead of "Branch" (Jack & Jill & Samantha only)
6. Change "Cl" to "Clinic" instead of "Close" (Karen & Lee only)
7. Change "O" to "West" instead of "Oest" (Julie & Felix only)
8. Change "Boul." to "Boulevard" instead of "Boul+pause" (Julie & Felix only)
9. Change "HwY" to "Highway" instead of "H-W-Y" (Daniel & Emily only)
10. Change "AuT" to "Highway" instead of "A-U-T" (Daniel & Emily only, French countries)
11. Change "O" to "West" instead of "O" (Daniel & Emily only, French countries)
12. Change "Boul." to "Boulevard" instead of "Boul+pause" (Daniel & Emily only, French countries)
13. Change "Hov" to "H-O-V" instead of "Hove" (Jack & Jill & Samantha only)
14. Change "WA" to "Washington" instead of "W-A" (Karen & Lee only)
15. Change "Ct" and "Ct-" to "Connecticut" instead of "C-T" or "Court" (Jack & Jill & Samantha only)
16. Change "RM" to "Ranch Road" instead of "R-M"
17. Change "La" to "La" instead of "Lane" (All English voices)
18. Change "Eisenhower" to "I-zenhower" instead of "Eesenhower" (Karen & Lee only)
