Description Willie Walker 2005-11-10 18:52:24 UTC 
Orca can use a variety of synthesis engines, each of which has its own phoneset and dictionary scheme.  It 
is not reasonable to expect users to know how to modify the pronunciation lexicon of their synthesis 
engine.  As a workaround, Orca should provide a trivial "sounds like" translation dictionary.  For example, 
when you see the word "IMAP" pronounce it like "eye map."

Patch to hopefully implement this enhancement.

Will, before I just check this in, could you have a look at it 
please, to see if I've implemented the way you'd like it?

Thanks.

Reworked patch.

Adjusted the patch based on feedback from Will (thanks!) to
use isWordDelimiter() instead of just looking for white space
when breaking the lines into word sized tokens.

Further reworked patch.

Keywords are not localized in the pronunciation dictionary (another
good suggestion from Will). Also entries for the new file in 
pydoc/Makefile.am and po/POTFILES.in.

That should have been "are now localized". Grr.
Comment 7 Rich Burridge 2006-10-21 17:23:00 UTC 
Changes checked in to CVS HEAD. Closing as FIXED.
