As mentioned earlier, Vocalizer expands homographic abbreviations if they arefollowed by a period and a single space, or a period and a punctuation mark, forexample:Input textSUN computersSUN. 1st Junewe are coming on SUN..Computers are here.sun.1st JuneNotesInterpreted as an acronymConverted to “Sunday” because ”SUN” is followed by aperiod and a single spaceConverted to “Sunday” because ”SUN” is followed bytwo periodsConverted to “Sunday” because ”sun” is all lowercaseTIP: Be careful when creating a custom text replacement filters that replacehomographic abbreviations. For example, a filter that replaces “me” with“Maine” could incorrectly render the word “me” when encountered in regulartext.Measurement and numeric abbreviationsMeasurement and numeric abbreviations are only recognized if they follow adigit (with or without a space), for example, “1M” and “4 cm”.With measurement abbreviations, the following rules apply:■■If the preceding word is the number “1” (entered as a digit), Vocalizer usesthe singular version of the long form; otherwise, it uses the plural version.When a number is followed by an alphabetic character, Vocalizer checkswhether the characters are specified in the list of measurementabbreviations:■■If the characters are specified, it expands the abbreviation to its longform.If the characters are not specified, Vocalizer treats the characters asseparate letters.For example:Input textOutput text3 kg three kilograms3 cm three centimetersChapter 9 Techniques for enhancing audio outputAbbreviations75
