Sandhi transform setting
- Thread starter kiltro
- Start date
Sorry, where did you see that setting referenced? I don't believe we've ever offered an option like that in our release app - we do have an option to display tone sandhi in 4.0 beta.
If an AI told you about this then I'm afraid AIs are not a reliable source of information about Pleco - we're at kind of the worst possible point knowledge-wise where they know we exist, but don't have detailed enough information about our app's interface for the truth to rise above hallucinations.

Ah, I'd actually forgotten about that one - sorry, we removed it years ago and made it always on, we didn't see any good reason why anyone would want it off and at any rate we had no way to make TTS voices *not* apply sandhi transformations. (should probably update the manual)
I dont understand why it doesnt seem to work on my app though.
I listen to the audio of a word like 一些 and the voice reads two first tones
Yeah, listening to it now it does sound like that - I think it was intentional and the way it seemed natural to the speaker (and you do sometimes hear people pronounce some of their 一's more like that) but part of the reason we've moved away from recordings and towards TTS in recent years is because it always matches the displayed tones precisely even if it's a little stiff-sounding.
Did you buy these add-ons recently? If you did and you're dissatisfied with them contact support and we'll be glad to set up a refund. If they were included in a bundle or whatever and you just don't want to hear audio from them, you can go into "Add-ons" and "Installed" and delete the "extended audio" files and that should give you better matched tones.

Sorry, the TTS does do sandhi correctly.
The audio recordings which you're using now actually pre-date mobile devices being fast enough to run TTS; we hired two native speakers to record the pronunciations of around 30,000 common words for us. Sometimes they pronounce it with not quite the stated tones because that was their natural reading of the word.
If you delete those add-ons, then it will use TTS, and TTS should have completely accurate sandhi.
