<title>Pronunciation Preferences</title>
<p>
Sometimes your speech synthesizer just doesn't say the right thing
for a given string. You might prefer to hear "laughing out loud"
rather than "LOL," or "accessibility" rather than "a11y". Or there
may be a name or a technical term which the synthesizer mispronounces.
</p>
<p>
The <gui>Pronunciation</gui> page of the <app>Cthulhu</app> preferences
dialog allows you to add, edit, and delete entries in <app>Cthulhu</app>'s
pronunciation dictionary.
</p>
<p>
Because the <gui>Pronunciation</gui> page is also part of the
application-specific settings, you can customize your entries on an
as-needed basis for each application you use.
