I'll bet you're right, but don't know. The original Road Runner used this
same synth chip, and they included a "download dictionary" option in their
transfer software, but it was never implemented and the User's Guide never
alluded to it.

I don't think it would be possible to have a dictionary on the BookPort. Don't quote me on this, but I would say that the chip for the synthisizer is programmed. Unless it is like eliquence, where you can program the screenreader to pronounce certain words in certain ways. A spellchecker may be useful, in a future release.
have fun with the bookport, Tyler
PS: Marry christmas! (well, almost, anyway).

Subject: [bookport] the holidays and bookport
Hi,
I saw over the holidays that ipods now have video capabilities on them and other stuff, although their primary function is playing music. I would like to see
1. better recording capabilities on the bookport using the bookport's internal microphone. like the ability to record at 32khz or 44khz mono
2. a pronunciation dictionary so I can change how the speech pronounces words when I'm reading books such as harry potter where the speech says some names and things incorrectly.
3. a spell-checker for the notetaker, similar to that of the braille 'n speak.
4. It would be cool also if the transfer software could through use of the options dialog optionally convert text files with spaces into rtf or word files after synchronization. I think it would be easier to do this on the computer end of things rather than expecting the bookport to do it.
I was told I'm getting a bookport as an early christmas present and I can't wait to have one! I also hope to buy a language master in a month or two here as well.
