If you know where the entry is that you want to delete--for example, if you're certain the entry is in excp.dic--then you can do this.
Control backslash to open the WE control panel. Alt-F for file, E for explore profile folder. The list of your set files, character dictionaries, pronunciation dictionaries, etcetera is presented. Press the first letter of the dictionary name until you land on it. Press the application key or Shift-F10 to open the context menu and choose the open with menu item. When the dialog opens, choose notepad and press enter. Notepad launches and you are presented with a list of dictionaries. Here is an example of part of my excp.dic contents that I copied from Notepad. anapest=annapest golive=go live nietzsche=neetcheh amphibrach=amfuhbrack teotihuacan=tayoateewahcan If I wanted to remove the amphibrach entry, I would put the cursor at the beginning of the line containing the entry, then press Shift-End to highlight the word and its replacement. The delete key removes the entry and then I'd save the dictionary with Control-S. After removing an entry in this way, you must restart WE. You can remove an entry from within the WE control panel by navigating to the dictionary node in the settings tree view as well. To me, all that tabbing to the include program check box and then to the pronunciation dictionary node and then to the list of dictionaries and then to the dictionary contents is slower and relatively clunky, but it can be accomplished in less than a day, I'll bet. Things get a bit more complicated if the program has its own dictionary. Before you can find an entry in the program dictionary, you must first visit the dictionaries> status dialog and check the include program dictionary check box and save the setting. Then you must select your dictionary from the list of available dictionaries. Tab tab tab tab. By the way. Why have accelerators been removed from some of the WE dialogs? Now, instead of Alt-k for cursoring keys, it's tab tab tab and shift tab shift tab shift tab. The cursoring key first action used to say I first action and now that accelerator no longer works. The problem seems to be with edit boxes, combo boxes and list views in WE itself. Was this purposeful or is it a glitch, or maybe just an oversight? Hope I helped and didn't confuse you, Lou N. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Veronica Smith via Talk Sent: Monday, February 15, 2016 10:14 PM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: the pronouncing dictionary So do you happen to know how to change or delete a word in the how to pronounce it dictionary?
