Pronunciation Preferences
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 Pronunciation page of the Cthulhu preferences
dialog allows you to add, edit, and delete entries in Cthulhu's
pronunciation dictionary.
Because the Pronunciation page is also part of the
application-specific settings, you can customize your entries on an
as-needed basis for each application you use.

Return to finish editing the replacement string.
Editing an existing dictionary entry
