Re: [orca-list] Dictionaries

Hi,
I did what you have said: in pronuntiation's tab of orca preferences I added 
a new entry, which original string is vi and replaced string is vee eye. And 
it works well.
But I think it's impraticable to add entries for all roman numbers. I think 
if we want, we have to be able to disable this espeak's dictionary.
I think espeak's dictionary is important when we don't have this capability 
on a screen reader or if we use espeak in a context where we don't need a 
screen reader. In this case, there are two dictionaries working: espeak's 
dictionary and orca's dictionary and they are fighting one against each 
other.

Best regards

Sérgio Neves

What happens if you setup something in Orca's pronunciation
dictionary to replace the string "vi" with something like "vee eye"?

You can add strings to the pronunciation dictionary via the
Pronunciation tab in Orca Preferences.
