The new BP is going to use the Doubletalk, too, and perhaps it can't support
an exception dictionary. Simply saying that an exception dictionary is an
excellent idea isn't enough--we need to know if the overall design, itself,
is capable of supporting one. Exception dictionaries are real processor hogs
and the BP is a long, long way from your desktop computer in terms of
processing power and what's called "throughput."

Pamela,
Obviously, you can't make changes to pronunciations by modifying the
DoubleTalk synthesizer itself; however, that won't prevent the programmers
from adding an exception dictionary to the new Book Port 2, would it? An
exception dictionary would just change the text strings being sent to the
DoubleTalk. I know that the user asking the question was talking about the
current Book Port, but I just wanted to clarify that Book Port 2 could have
an exception dictionary at some point.
