if not i can help you by making a program to replace all those with propper words. Basically you'll be able to choose what to replace.

Your guess is as good as mine. It all depends on whether or not we get a license for a newer Double Talk version. If not, then we won't. We'll have to wait and see, though, because I've yet to get my hands on the Book Port 2, as it has been pushed back.

I'm sorry to learn that the Book Port speech program cannot be modified by
the user. There is something depressingly stupid about a program that could 
read "Drive South King moved to Street Andrews. instead of "Doctor S. King
moved to Saint Andrews"! The program designer seems to have been obsessed by 
letter heads.

Okay; it can't be helped. But what about the new Book Port we've been
promised? I suppose that the company would have taken the opportunity to
correct the fault - wouldn't they?
