I wonder whether that can be worked around using user dictionaries. A while back, I committed a patch to 
speech-dispatcher that was submitted to enable the ibmtts/voxin user dictionaries. I haven't looked into how 
to use them myself, but perhaps we can come up with a list of issues and try to work around them with a 
default user dictionary shipped with speech-dispatcher.
