aerosmith = arrow smith
mattea = matayah
shania = shawniah (can't come up with the exact pronunciation).

Part of the problem is what speech synthesizer you are using with Jfw. These work pretty well with Eloquence, but I have to change a couple of them to work better with Dectalk Express. Interestingly, Eloquence does a decent job with Aerosmith without modification.

Subject: Jaws Dictionary with names



Hi All...

I have a large music collection and am trying to get jaws to say names
properly. I usually don't do much with the dictionary because I find it
annoying and tedious. I generally just adjust my listening to
mis-pronunciations.

However, I cannot tolerate some of these errors anymore. Can anybody
help me with the following examples:

Twain, Shania
Mattea, Cathy
Aerosmith

Thanks,
cjr
