Hi Colin,
Synthesizers do have away of miss pronounce words, and sometimes changing the
language may also have an effect, such as English British to English American.
The JAWS dictionary can help with these words.
I have attached a document which is a walk through guide on how to alter
pronunciations through the use of the JAWS dictionary, I must apologise if this
is old news to you and if you already know how to do this.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Kindest regards.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Dec Express - strange speech!
Greetings,
I have been using Dec Express for a good while and for the most part, find
it's speech perfectly acceptable.
I am aware that Dec synths handle quotes and apostrophe characters in a
somewhat excentric manner and also when doing some bible notes and having to
write the word "Caleb" it pronounces it "Cackub".
I have just written an email with the subject:
"I've been stung"
and Dec Express says it as:
"I've been strung"
I would be interested in any other such oddities in synths.
I am using Jaws v5.1 on an Evesham laptop, running WindoesME, but can't
really believe that has any signifficance.
Colin Howard looks forward to hearing from you.
