Bear in mind that almost all translation and pronunciation errors;
especially the latter; aren't anything that can be fixed, since they're
built into the synthesizer software. Without a dictionary utility, there's
almost nothing that can be done about pronunciation and the translation of
St., Dr., and so on.

I just ran across another instance similar to herself being pronounced as
herf. This afternoon the contraction for beside was pronounced as bes.

Hi Joni,
Thanks for the comments. The punctuation level doesn't make any difference
for the double f error. I have tried all settings.
I have not run into the others one you mention, but I suspect you are
correct. I am fairly sure the accent is indeed being interpreted as the at
sign since both are handled with dot 4 depending on the braille grade, etc.
I am assuming that folks on the development team read this list and make
note of such things, right?
Thanks,
Richard
