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.

The <gui>Pronunciation</gui> page of the <app>Orca</app> preferences
|
||
|
|
dialog allows you to add, edit, and delete entries in <app>Orca</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.
