use
%tempinmetric%
and that will be much better i would think
(as it wont have the oC symbol…as long as you do not have ticked, show units, under the custom web page setup )

try that

6
use %tempinmetric%

Sorry, but that is not the solution.
Now the spelling is: “Temperatur 8”.
The right spelling should be: “Temperatur -5.8”

May not be relevant but when I messed around with text to speech some years ago I had to spell out “minus” because “-” was interpreted as a control character.

11

thats what might be happening then
i will do some testing later on today when i get some free time…
and if so, then i will make a custom tag that puts the word minus there
(poeople using oF have probabely not got to - numbers yet!)

i have added code to check for the minus sign for a temperature custom tag, and for if its from the speech…tested and it works
in version 9.98h
uploading now
will be ready in a few hours
