Adding New Entries

Click the ‘New…’ button, or choose ‘New Entry…’ from the Entries menu. Type into the dialog the word you want to replace when speaking. This dialog will only accept letter characters, and it will convert letters to the preferred case, as specified in the preferences dialog. (The Speech Manager seems to ignore accented characters. So, to insert an entry for the word “resumé” for example, just type “resume.”) Click the OK button, and your new word then appears in the list.

Now type the text that you want to hear when speaking the word in the upper right-hand box, then click the ‘Convert’ button (with the downward arrow) to convert this to their phonemic representation in the lower box. Now click the ‘Speak’ button to hear what this will sound like.

You may like to use the ‘Prosidics control’ menu and button to insert special characters into the phonemic text to fine-tune pronunciation now.

That’s it! You’ve created a new entry, which will be saved with the file.
