Hi Esther, David, et al,

Thanks for the info about the dictionary. That is one more doubt out of the way. <smile>

Best wishes.

Ian

Hi Ian,

You wrote:
Is the Voiceover dictionary limited to single words, or can it take phrases,
punctuation, smilies, etc?

The pronunciation editor comes with a few emoticons defined, including
:-)  smiley
;-)  wink
and some examples like:
802.11g  8 oh 2 eleven g

Yes, you can have phrases defined,  It's a good way to deal with foreign
expressions in English if you don't have the Acapela InfoVox/iVox voices in
other languages.  (But it's much better to get these voices if you want to
switch to another language.) You can sample the voices at:

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

I'm not esther, but it can take quite a bit although there is probably a

Gee, David, I would never have guessed (grin).

HTH
Cheers,

Esther
