Kim & all,
I use the Neo Speak voices with the Text Aloud program and convert a lot of
text files to MP3.
I can tell you that it is a very simple process to correct such mis
pronounciations by use of the pronounciation dictionary built into the
program.
It seems to me that such a file, which is less than 16Kilobytes in the Text
Alound program would or should not be too much trouble to include in the
Sense products.

Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] Add these words to fix in the BS dictionary
I wrote this once, but perhaps I didn't actually send it to the whole list.
I'm not trying to help GW Micro, or HIMS get out of anything, but the
Booksense uses Neospeech which is also offered with the Kurzweil reading
and scanning program. I hear mispronunciations with the speech in
connection with Kurzweil too, so it may not be anything that GW Micro or
HIMS can control or do anything about. It is a little bit of an
annoyance, but the speech quality overall is much better than Eloquence,
Dectalk, or any other synthetic speech I know about. If it can be fixed,
that would be good, but don't be surprised if it can't without Neospeech
making changes to _its_ product.
