The pronunciation dictionary only looks at whole words, so drill
would be drill, no matter what. BTW, it is also not possible
(though I wish it were) to change groups of words. For example,
the BN says lives, but you cannot tell it to say the words "their
lyves", as you would never have "their" and "lives" next to each
other. Similar with "it winds" as opposed to "it wynds".

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] The way words are written
I've never messed with the pronunciation dictionary myself but
wonder if
it is smart enough to only work on full words or does it act on
strings of
letters? The reason I ask is because if you tell it to always
say the
combination dr as d r, then what happens when you run across a
word that
contains the letters dr together within? For example, what will
it say if
you run across the word drill? Does it say d r ill or d rill?

Hi Sarah V.;
I tried it. Now it is saying dr spelled out, just the 2
letters.
In the last step, if I put doctor, do you think it would say
doctor
when it reads dr.?
