In the formulas below.... If {CID COUNT SINCE AWAY} has a numeric value of 0, the TTS comes back and says that the count is "ooh", rather than "zero". The formulas work OK after zero.
ph_tts("the number of missed calls is" + "{CID COUNT SINCE AWAY}")
or
ph_tts("the number of missed calls is" + {CID COUNT SINCE AWAY})

I think you'll just need to do some coding to fix that. My weather reports are similar, in that when, "winds at 10 miles per hour" or similar is spoken, winds is spoken as in, "winds a clock". I just do a global replace of "winds" with "wins". Close enough!

Tony,
Agreed.... This is indeed VERY MINOR. Multiple ways to code around it.

It's kind of funny. I have the same issue as Tony. I changed mine to "winds are BLOWING at 10 miles per hour." In that situation "winds" is pronounced correctly. In my CID macro, if I call, it doesn't pronounce 'Noel' correctly. I had to change it to 'Knoll'.
Smarty, have you tried changing the sentence to "There are {CID COUNT SINCE AWAY} number of missed calls" to see if that makes a difference.
Another possibility might be trying ph_getglobal_n(CID COUNT SINCE AWAY) since it gives you back a number rather than text, maybe that will give you zero. Haven't tried it though.
In any event I would think this isn't a PH problem but a TSS inherent problem.

No luck with this one.

No luck here either.
What does work is:
ph_tts("the number of missed calls is " + ph_replaceall("{CID COUNT SINCE AWAY}","0","zero"))

I agree with nadler. It's an MS TTS issue, not a PH one. In my experience with TTS, there are systems that use dictionaries or the like for changing pronunciations. I need to do some digging to see if this is available for the MS version.
