Not only that, given the lack of proofreading by people when they write 
information for their web pages, it could be nothing more than words typed 
incorrectly, words joined together, or typos.

Nothing much you can do about that.

  Bob,

  I have no helpful advice for you, but it might be useful to distinguish 
between different "pronunciation" and simply reading something all wrong, which 
is what this sounds like. I mean, I've known jaws to literally pronounce one 
word or another differently depending on which app I was in, though I can't 
think fan example, which as far as I'm concerns suggests how rare this problem 
might be.

  but what you are describing sounds a heck of a lot more like nothing much to 
do with Eloquence and its pronunciation, but jaws actually misreading 
something, and then Eloquence not being able to deal with the crazy stuff jaws 
is giving it to say. This sounds not at all like a problem with eloquence, or 
something you could fix by tweaking the Jaws Dictionary, or anything like that. 
It just sounds like Jaws isn't seeing the material clearly, and that's of 
course a problem that has to be dealt with.

  Just my impression. Good luck.

  The following line:
  For Over 3 Decades, I've Been Forced To Keep A Secret

  Is pronounced like this in Internet explorer:
  For Over december three erdades, I've Been Forced To Keep A Secret

  I think I have the same Jaws settings for IE and OE so I wonder why it says 
different things.

  BTW:  That was a quote from a product advertisement; not the beginning of a 
personal confession. LOL
