Hi, Walt. You are absolutely correct. My mistake. I recall that when I
used Vert Plus that the word group would from time to time be pronounced
with an o u sound such as in the word ouch, smile. A friend of mine was
learning how to use some software when working for Am Track. The tutorial
read a portion of a sentence which said ready? Here we go. But the
synthesizer said here Wednesday go, smile. So, what I am saying is that I
agree with you.
Mike
