Normalize Text
Media Server automatically normalizes the text for most languages. You only need to normalize text yourself when automatic normalization is not supported for your language.
To normalize text
- Change digits to words. For example, replace "2" with "two". Replace "37" with "thirty seven" (not "three seven"). Replace the year "1997" with "nineteen ninety seven".
- Write individually pronounced character sequences as spaced characters; for example, “the word rules is spelled R U L E S”.
- Write pronounced punctuation as it sounds; for example, “sales at OpenText dot com".
- For all sentence breaks, replace periods (.) with <s>. Other punctuation must be removed.
