In addition to Orlando's great explanation, it also allows you to have dictionaries based on the synthesizer or the language you're using (so if Eloquence mispronounces some word you can correct it, without adversely effecting Dec-Talk).
It's a large and complex app; like almost any such item, it does take some time and effort to learn what it does and how to use it. It also benefits greatly from: * reports to the author when you find something where you'd like it to behave differently, or have found a problem. * and since it's free, some thanks to the author in public places (here on the lists; in the ratings and the comments of appGet and App Central, etc.), you get the idea. (actually, I may speak too freely when I say it's "free"; David may say somewhere that he'd appreciate donations).

Its main purpose is pronunciation dictionaries that can handle all characters rather than mere letters. I use it to great effect with foreign words by entering phonemes for accented letter combinations that then pronounce longer words more correctly than with the normal Window-eyes exception dictionary architecture. There is also an applet in the package called Captuer Spoken Phrases, which allows the end user to change how Window-eyes interprets phrases and symbols within applications. For instance, if you wanted Window-eyes to say Application Key rather than Context Menu, you could not accomplish this through any native Window-eyes key label, color, graphic or exception dictionary.
