Characters, intists instead of interests, intisting instead of interesting.
I am also noticing with this latest 1.1 software that some words ending in
e-r like printer, it is leaving the last sylabol off. Otherwise, the e r is
pronounced aw instead of er. I am trying to think of others. I just read a
book on neurosurgery, and there were a couple of medical words that left me
scratching my head at until I thought them over for a moment. I think that
was more of a case of an accent being misplaced. The one that bothers me the
most is aws or aw for ers or er.

Subject: [GW-Booksense] Add these words to fix in the BS dictionary
Hi folks,
I'm sure those of us on this listserv can create a short list of words
that the present Book Sense speech synthesis does badly. Here are a few
that I have noticed that are regularly mangled. I hope these fixes can be
put in the next release.
Mispronunciations:
Barbara
Labor
October
Interested
and US dollars being read as Australian dollars
Any more for the list?
Bryan
