But those examples have absolutely nothing to do with back translation of
braille. Those are all related to the programming of the speech synthesizer.

Hi, Ed. I get a chuckle every now and then when the issue of back
translation of brf files is discussed. You just gave me another little
chuckle. I myself get a kick out of street Louis or doctor pronounced as
drive. But I am amazed that the back translation of brf files to speech is
as good as it is.
