Ted,
Regarding your desire for a pronunciation dictionary? This isn't
possible. The speech synthesizers are completely independent of
Window-Eyes. They're made by other companies and they all have different
quirks. So there's no way for the folks at AI (or any other
screen-reader developers) to do anything about it.
That's why Window-Eyes has the exception dictionary feature. But you
don't want to use it to fix every little quirk in a synth because all
text queued for voicing must query the dictionary before being sent to
the synthesizer. This is why most of them have commercial versions for
dedicated systems such as phone services. And these commercial versions
have the tools to create pronunciation dictionaries and embed them into
the synthesizer itself.
And if you use more than one synthesizer you'll see differences in
what's pronounced right and wrong between them.
Hth,
Tom

First, I would like to know what is hogging the system, taking away
resources from the application I am working on.
Second, Sometimes a dialog box appears without telling me anything and
then disappears within a couple of seconds without a clue.
Third: It would be nice to have all words that window-eyes cannot
pronounce correctly, to be updated through a dictionary where those
words could be found and spoken correctly. Thanks. Regards: Ted Larson
