Subject: [jaws-uk] pronouncing a word differently from its spelling, is this
possible?
Hi all,
When set to UK English every letter in the word Smethwick is pronounced.
The actual pronunciation is Smethick. How can I set Jaws to pronounce the
word correctly? I guess it's a dictionary setting, but can't remember the
process. If possible please could someone give steps for the process in
both Jaws 16 and 17, as I'm running latest build of Jaws 17 while my wife is
running latest build of Jaws 16 and I'd like to be able to make the same
change to both our dictionaries.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Alexander Shannon
