If you are talking about using the document or book reader, where the TTS is
used to read to us, what you want is already in the list of navigation!
You can navigate by word, character and phonetically!
Just pause your reading of a document once and then press the up or down
arrow to run through all of the navigations options.

Hopefully the next firmware release will allow navigation by word and
character so that we can understand these words and know how names, etc.
are
spelled. It would also be helpful when navigating by letter if one could
hear the letter names spoken as "adam, bravo, charlie" for "a, b, c" etc.
as
with other reading devices for the blind.

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.

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
