Does anyone know how to get speech server to say city names that begin "de" and "des" instead of spelling it out?

Try using AppendTextWithHint("Des Moines"), SayAs.Text).

There aren't many of these so you could consider recording the offending cities.

Excellent suggestions.  I'll test it out.

You can create Lexicons for proper names to be spoken correctly. I use them for city and street names that are not pronounced the way they are spelled.

That's another great idea.  So far, I've found out that speech server will pronounce these cities correctly if that's the only text in the prompt.  If it's mixed with text that will pull from a prompt database, it fails to pronounce them correctly.  Adding hints around the city name has no effect.  I may just break up the message so that the city name is in it's own message activity.
