Hello. I just thought of a very simple way of fixing crash codes, and have tested it. I tested this on the "wednesday" crash code, and it worked. This is not a genius solution, and I'm actually kind of surprised that noone has thought of it yet. To fix a crash code, simply go into the pronunciation dictionary menu, select "add a word," and type the crash code and press enter. At the "type misspelling:" prompt, just type whatever you want and press enter. For example, I changed the "w e d h e s d a y" crash code to be pronounced as wednesday. Note: You will want to have your speech turned off or switched to keynote gold when you do this. Also, you will want to test it to make sure it works. Just open a blank document, type the crash code, and have eloquence read it to you. Your BrailleNote should not crash.
For users of other software and devices:To my knowledge, all note takers and screen readers that use eloquence have a pronunciation dictionary. For example, Jaws has a dictionary manager. Adding the crash code to the dictionary, and giving it a misspelling should produce the same results. Of course, you will either want to not use eloquence while doing this, or have it muted.
