Abstract

A voice enunciation system and method provides a user with the capability to sound out text files. As the files are audibly played, if the user is not satisfied with the pronunciation of a particular word, the system provides the user with the means of replacing the word with his own particular pronunciation. The preferred pronunciation is also stored in an override dictionary so that any subsequent encounter with that particular word is pronounced correctly.
