Josh Glottmann Posted August 20, 2014 at 03:55 AM Posted August 20, 2014 at 03:55 AM Would it be possible for the Dep/Arr Section and NOTAM section to have a special function (or code such as $A-$Z) to read out the letter pronunciation? Currently "TWY P AND S CLSD" would be read as "Taxiway P and South closed". With this feature, "TWY $P AND $S CLSD" would be read as "Taxiway Papa and Sierra Closed". Great Job so far, it works near perfectly and will definately be a time saver. Thanks, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Shannon Posted August 20, 2014 at 04:08 AM Posted August 20, 2014 at 04:08 AM Such feature already exists. http://radarcontact.me/ look specifically at the "Special Text Parsing" section.

Bradley Grafelman Posted August 20, 2014 at 05:10 AM Posted August 20, 2014 at 05:10 AM Speaking of special text parsing... There's a bug where frequencies like "123.575" (both in the freetext box and the "All departures contact ___ on ___" closing flag) are pronounced as "one two three point five seven five." Instead, it should be spoken as "one two three point five seven." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, it should be spoken as "one two three point five seven." I'm betting that's not a bug ... rather a "lack of feature".

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted August 20, 2014 at 01:24 PM Board of Governors Posted August 20, 2014 at 01:24 PM Agree with Ross' characterization, and agree with the request to have that spoken five removed at the end for freqs xxx.x2 and xxx.x7.
