Community lexicons

[karashiiro]

Migrated to #60 - please continue there!

I don't use lexicons myself, so I don't have one I'm maintaining, but if anyone else has lexicons they're willing to share I'd appreciate it if they could drop a link so I can provide them to anyone who wants them and doesn't know how to make them themselves. Alternatively, feel free to post them in the #preset-sharing channel in the goat place Discord, and I'll relink them somewhere here.

Main Character names British Voice Lexicon.zip

Works only with British voices. Uses aliases because pronemes aren't currently working with the standard voice setting.
Only corrects pronunciation on supporting characters names.

fixed a mistake where two entries phonemes were swapped while testing

I've done all the characters I've noticed the most when going through MSQ. As well as Mispronounced Location names. These use pronemes so pronunciation should be more consistent though different regions of English.
Works with all English voices. (tested for US and GB)

Is there an app or something easy to make these lexicons?

I am not sure if this should be a separate issue or not, but I tried using the FFXIVCharacters&LocationsEN.zip lexicon (both through Amazon Polly and directly uploaded to the plugin) and it said "Maximum lexicons size has been exceeded".

I don't know of any apps for this, but this article has some lexicons used in its examples that might explain the concept.

I've never heard of this happening, but I assume that means Amazon Polly has some sort of size limit on lexicons. You can try splitting the lexicon in half, maybe? Pulling out half of the lexemes and putting them into a new lexicon file and uploading the resulting two smaller ones.

Looks like you nailed it, as per Amazon Polly’s site, “Each lexicon can be up to 4,000 characters in size. ”
I’ll have to wait until I have time to figure out how to separate them on an actual computer.

Wow 4000 characters is quite a small limit, in the future I'll have to make split files for Amazon Polly. For now though, I removed a lexeme that can't be used right now with the way the plugin currently works, and the character count is now 3999! If there is any issue let me know!

Oh damn, thank you so much! Hah, karashiiro saw the future and knew it needed to get under 4000 characters LOL. But seriously, thank you so much, I'll try it in a few, hopefully, after a few morning jobs. Also, do you recommend uploading it to Amazon directly or just uploading it to the addon?

[johnysandels]

You'll need to upload it through the TextToTalk plugin.

FFXIVCharacters&LocationsEN.zip

• Fixes Cid's name not being pronounced properly in some regions. Still within the 4000 character limit for AmazonPolly.

FFXIVCharacters&Locations.zip

• Fixes pronunciation for Urianger's name for Microsoft David. Hopefully works with other voices (confirmed working for Zira atleast). I haven't been able to test others since I reinstalled windows. Under 4000 characters btw
