Hi! I am using the polish TTS voice that's named Marek and I want it to read out prices. The currency is "zł" and with numbers like 20zł it works fine, but with numbers like 20.99zł it will not interpret it as price any more. Even when changing it to 20,99, no difference. Even the currency zł will be read out as single letters. Did someone came along a work around here? As far as I know, there is no symbol like £ for the polish currency.

    Hi @Vanessa

    Try the following:

    20,99 zloty or 20.99 zloty

    I'm not a Polish speaker, but I tried those versus how it is pronounced on Google.

    Hi,
    I had similar issues with the pronounciation of metric units in languages other than english. With the help of some RegEx rules I could force the expected pronounciation.
