Press insert d to open the dictionary manager. 2. You will be focused on an add button. Press control-shift-d to modify the default dictionary, meaning that the pronunciation change will be effective in all applications. 3. Press space to activate the add button. 4. Type the actual word, i.e., the word that Jaws is currently mispronouncing. 5. Tab once and type the replacement word the way you would like it pronounced. You can use any spelling mistakes or spaces here which will allow for the correct pronunciation of the word. 6. Tab to ok and press enter.

For instance, say I have an acronym and want JAWS to say each letter instead of trying to read it as a word. Also some names aren't recognized; can I program JAWS to say those names a certain way?
