Re: [orca-list] Pronunciation dictionary is not working

Hi Hermann:

Sounds like a typo.  And yep, it was.  :-(  My fault.  That's what I 
get for splitting time between my family and providing support for Orca 
on my weekends.  :-(  I usually double check the commands, but I was 
under a bit of pressure to play Pokeman yesterday.  As a result, the 
free support you got yesterday was unfortunately worth every penny you 
paid for it.

Try this, and please double check just in case I accidentally added a 
command to make it do something like "rm -rf /":

import orca.chnames
orca.chnames.chnames['"'] = 'zitat'
orca.chnames.chnames['<'] = 'kleiner'
orca.chnames.chnames['>'] = 'groesser'

Will

PS - No, there isn't a way to set this up via the graphical UI.  Please 
open an enhancement request if you think there should be a way.
