By one note, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean that you can only
insert one phoneme before it gives you an error? Is it possible for
you to, say, record a demo of what goes wrong?<br>
Thanks<br>

addons\dectalk\synthdrivers,
not in synth drivers. The code is commented in the
.py file itself, so it
should be easy to find. Also, about the symbol
pronunciation dialog, it has 3
combo boxes for symbols. The symbol, its
replacement, and preserve. If you want
something to go to the synthesizer, the combo box
itself is labeled "send
actual symbol to synthesizer", you set it to always
for the proper
symbols. Or, if you would like a dictionary pre

Just find the addon labeled "singing dectalk", it
contains
instructions on how to get it to work. And the
shortcut to access the NVDA menu
can be changed in input gestures, in the filter by
combo box, search for NVDA.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
