What gets me is single quotes getting spoken as apostrophes. Code 8216 and
17. DOes the character dictionary do unicode? For instance, you're reading a
story online or whatever and the screen reader says something like the
following.
Apostrophe hi, apostrophe said the old fellow. Apostrophe it's a nice day
today isn't it? Apostrophe.
Not very conducive to a good reading experience. Any way to fix that?

I'm a bit confused by this message, Olusegun. To correct the pronunciation
of your name you would place it in the exception dictionary, not the
character dictionary. And without having the dollar sign in my character
dictionary use of it in the normal manner speaks as it should.
$1 says one dollars; the plural being due to the unconventional format.
$1.99 says one dollars and 99 cents.
Hth,
Tom

Hi all:
I paucit that this should have been done from the factory--at the
developer's desk! Private beta-testers, whom I consider to be power
users, should have spotted this and reported it.
I choose to use the Character dictionary to CORRECT THE PRONOUNCIATION of
my name and such. However, I won't even bother with that because I DO
NOT EXPECT any screen reader, unless if I am a genius enough to create
one, to ever pronounce my name correctly.
Having said the foregoing, should a scripter wish to take it up, that's
all well and good! I take this time to thank all scripters who have
provided free scripts to make Window-Eyes work even better. Their
invaluable service to the Window-Eyes and other screen readers'
communities is greatly appreciated.
Lastly, does anyone know how I can make Window-Eyes say 1$ instead of
dollar1 when the number comes after the sign? It is awkward to hear
Window-Eyes read "dollar1" when it should be reading "1$". To make it
read correctly in this message, I have had to put the dollar sign after
the number.
Sincerely,
Olusegun
