word dictionaries for speakup

[Janina Sajka]

Heck, I want to hear my name pronounced correctly. I've used speech synths 
for more years than I care to admit to, but I'm still not used to hearing 
my own hardware say my name wrong.

Exceptions dictionaries are a gift. I hope we have one someday in the not 
too distant future.
