I don't about drive versus doctor per. However, if you can't put a
period in the original field you can't even begin to solve the rpoblem.
That is the point. If you could put a space and a period in the
original field you could at least change it case by case. As it is now
with window-eyes as opposed to jaws as an example, you can't even begin
to solve the problem. This doesn't address the issue that if you could
put a space or punctuation in the original field that you could change
the pronunciation of otehr phrases in all cases.
The phrase original message is an example.
So I agree that just because we could put those punctuation and space
characters in the original field that this would not solve the problem
with no other work fo drive versus doctor. However, something could be
done to solve the problem. As it is now in window-eyes noting can be
done to solve the problem or any other problem requiring phrase
pronunciation changes.

I believe this particular issue is a function of the synthesizer as I can
create situations where WE will pronounce D r (period) as either "drive" or
"doctor" without use of the exceptions dictionary. What is inadequate in
this situation is the English language: It's nearly impossible to program
Window-Eyes to say the right thing in the right situation all of the time.
I use other screen readers that also fail quite regularly in this regard.

Subject: Re: a dictionary question
You can't change it because this is one of the problems wiht the inadequate
exceptions dictionary. You can't put a period in the original field of the
exception dictionary. You can't put anything in that field except for
letters numbers and apostrophe. You could put the space inthe original
field up to version 4.11 but this was taken out by some person on the
gwmicro staff. Who did it we don't know and no one knows except that person
apparently. It is bad enough that the feature isn't there. It is absurd
that it was taken out. So join the club of those who think the exceptions
dictionary is totally inadequate.
